If you study a modern foreign language to A Level you will develop the understanding and communication skills established at GCSE level. You will also develop a critical awareness of the contemporary society, cultural background and heritage of countries where the foreign language is spoken and you will be provided with a suitable foundation for further study and/or practical use of the foreign language. The topic areas covered are: Social Issues and Trends, Political and Artistic Culture, Literary Texts and Films. A special emphasis will be made on grammar. Knowledge of the grammar and structures specified for GCSE is assumed and developed further and these will have to be used accurately and with an appropriate level of complexity for each task.
It is a prerequisite for pupils to have studied their chosen foreign language at GCSE prior to taking it at A Level. To study this course you need to have a keen interest in language and culture as well as a rounded general knowledge of how the world works. You will develop these as well as other qualities, most notably, the ability to communicate with others. You should also have at least a grade 7 in the language at GCSE. You will be required to read at least one book and watch one or two films in the foreign language and will need to have sufficient understanding to be able to analyse the works you have studied.
The assessment objectives are examined through 3 separate papers taken at the end of the course. They are weighted as follows: Paper 1 – Listening, Reading and Writing 50% Paper 2 – Writing 20% Paper 3 – Speaking 30%
