We would advise seriously consider doing a Modern Foreign Language as part of your portfolio of A-levels. This will offer you the opportunity to acquire an essential skill for a career in the global market, in international law and finance, in scientific and commercial fields, politics, education and administration. The ability to learn a language at a higher level is likely to impress employers and mark you out as a good communicator. Learning a language at a higher level also opens up an exciting new world of culture. Once you understand more, you will be able to enjoy foreign music, literature, film and television and the ability to converse fluently will be admired by all those who can’t. In lessons, you will have the opportunity to find out more about topical issues and to join in lively discussions and debates. You will develop the ability to think on your feet and to see things from another perspective. Why choose French/German/Spanish? • To develop and build on the skills acquired at GCSE. • To enhance employment prospects. • To facilitate foreign travel. • To have an insight into another culture and society. • To have a sound basis for further study. “The ability to understand and communicate in another language is a lifelong skill for education, employment and leisure in this country and throughout the world.” - Qualifications and Curriculum Authority
