The Pearson Edexcel course that we follow will appeal to keen linguists, who enjoy being stretched by a wide and varied diet of cultural and linguistic materials. As you would expect at this level, the course is broad, offering you the chance to look at everything from politics and social issues through to the media and the arts. You can expect your understanding of Russia, its history, its culture and its literature to expand immeasurably and your linguistic skills to develop considerably over the duration of the course.
Although the study of Russian at this level demands a high degree of intellectual rigour and linguistic competence, crucially, it requires a committed and focused approach; without this, no student, whatever his ability, can expect to fulfil his potential. Students considering Russian in the Sixth Form should have anticipated achieving a grade 7 or higher at GCSE. Those who have managed a grade 6 at GCSE are more than welcome to consider taking Russian at this level, but should be fully aware of the demanding nature of the course.
Those seeking to obtain an A-Level qualification in Russian will sit three terminally assessed papers at the end of Year 13. As is customary with language examinations, the speaking component will be sat in May and the written components will be sat in June. Paper 1 Listening, Reading and Translation (40% of the qualification) 2 hours Paper 2 Written Response to works and translation (30% of the qualification) 2 hours 40 minutes Paper 3 Speaking (30% of the qualification) 21-23 minutes* *This includes 5 minutes' preparation time.
