Overview

Communication in any language is vital, but if you are considering employment either in the UK or abroad within business, hospitality, interpreting, teaching or international organisations, having advanced language skills is invaluable.

Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics. This must include a grade 6 in the language you wish to study, or an equivalent level of proficiency in the language.

During this two-year course, you will explore the language, culture and society of the countries where the language is spoken and develop a critical and analytical approach to film and literature in your chosen language. You will carry out independent research on a chosen aspect of social, cultural, artistic and political life. Over the two years of your course, listening, reading, speaking and writing skills will be continuously practised and developed.You will be encouraged to express opinions, discuss topics and current affairs and use a wider range of vocabulary and grammatical structures to become an accurate and independent user of the language. You may also have the opportunity to take part in our organised visits.

You will be entered for three examination papers:• Paper one: Listening, Reading and Writing (Translation)• Paper two: Writing (an essay on one text and one film or two texts from a set list)• Paper three: Speaking (discussion of a stimulus card plus individual research project)

You may decide to continue to study language at university by either focusing on one language or combining language study with almost any other subject. This A Level is a great asset for university and employment as you will acquire invaluable transferable skills such as autonomy, creativity, analytical and critical thinking and communication skills.


College is definitely worth all the effort you put in, you get to meet lots of different people and it’s amazing.
