An A level in one or more Modern Foreign Language is a highly-regarded addition to a student’s portfolio of qualifications for Higher Education. Even if you do not want to specialise in languages at university, an A level qualification can open more doors to you, as it is one of the facilitating subjects as defined by the Russell Group of universities.
A typical Sixth Form student will join Year 12 with a minimum of six GCSEs at Level 5 or above, including Mathematics and English, with Level 6 achieved in those subjects they propose to study at A Level.
This qualification is linear; students will study for two years and sit all their examinations in the summer of Year 13. There will be three papers: Paper 1 — listening, reading and writing (summary and translation) (2½ hours) – 50% Paper 2 — writing (essays) (2 hours) – 20% Paper 3 — speaking (between 21—23 minutes including 5 minutes preparation time) - 30%
