Bede’s A Level MFL courses equip pupils with linguistic skills, cultural awareness and global understanding. Not only will pupils develop their understanding and fluency in the language, but pupils will also discover much more about how people live and use the language on a daily basis. In the first year, pupils will study two major topics which introduce pupils to current trends in the target language societies and their artistic culture, such as contemporary music, heritage and film. In the second year, pupils will be introduced to more complex issues, such as aspects of political life and marginalisation within society, and pupils will study either two novels or plays or one novel and a film in the target-language, before completing an independent research project on a topic of pupils choice, related to a targetlanguage country.
