Course summary

The exciting French or Spanish courses you will embark on are highly relevant to your interests and concerns. We focus on discovering how French, Spanish and South American people talk at a personal level, what they think, how they live, how their cultures work. As you develop and build on skills you learned at GCSE, you will also learn more about the mechanics of the language, like grammar and vocabulary. We use the AQA course books, as recommended by the examination board, but much of the course is taught through a linked online resource, Kerboodle. You will be able to access Kerboodle at home, to do reading, writing, listening and interactive activities. You will watch video and film clips, read online articles and news, research topics on the Internet and in books, prepare presentations… there’s never a dull moment!

How you'll be assessed

The A-level is a linear course, so students will sit their examinations at the end of the course. The topics covered are Social Issues and Trends, Political and Artistic Culture and Literary Texts and Films whilst undertaking an individual research project. The examinations are weighted such that the listening, reading and writing paper (Paper 1) is worth 40%, the writing paper (Paper 2) is worth 30% and the speaking paper (Paper 3) is also worth 30% of the total mark.
