A level Languages are an ideal opportunity for students to follow a language beyond GCSE level: in the modern world, there can be few skills which are more useful.

Paper 1: written examination; 2 hours 30 min, 100 marks (50% of A level). Society, culture, multiculturalism, politics – skills-tested: listening, reading and writing. Paper 2: written examination; 2 hours, 80 marks (20% of A level). Two essay questions, each relating to a work studied (a film and a book); skill tested: writing. Paper 3: speaking assessment, 60 marks (30% of A level). 21-23 minutes (including five minutes preparation time). Students present on their Research Project without notes and are questioned in the Target Language. They then present and answer questions on a choice of topics from the L6th or U6th topics.
