Italian

Assessment

We prepare you for the Edexcel board specification. You will study cultural and social topics, such as film, literature, and music. You will also study contemporary society, such as the changes in the Italian family, and issues, such as immigration and the mafia, along with a historical topic on the rise and fall of the fascist regime. You will research your topic to discuss in the oral exam (this could be a work of art, a musician, a building or a political issue, for instance) and write essays on a book and film that you have studied, as well as be tested on your listening, reading and translation skills. Our linguists always say how much more interesting the A-level is compared to the GCSE – they are right!
