The study of a foreign language at this level is highly rewarding, both linguistically and intellectually. It fosters a range of transferable skills including communication, critical thinking, research skills and creativity, which are valuable to the individual and society (the transferable skills which linguists develop are highly sought after by employers). The approach is a focus on how the societies where these languages are spoken have been shaped, both socially and culturally, and how they continue to change.
In general, we request a minimum of 3 Grade 6s and 2 Grade 5s. A grade of B/6 or higher in the relevant language at GCSE is normally required.
Paper 1: Listening, reading and writing 2 hours and 30 minutes Paper 2: Writing 2 hours Paper 3: Speaking 21–23 minutes (including 5 minutes preparation time)
