Modern Languages are highly regarded by universities and studying a language at A Level offers the opportunity to not only continue with languages in further education, but also to integrate it as a part of many degrees, thus adding an additional life skill to your CV. The emphasis in new syllabuses is on contemporary issues, current affairs and communication skills, the ability to discuss and debate contemporary and often controversial society issues in the target language. The course provides many opportunities to attend conferences and cultural events throughout the year. There is also an opportunity for work experience abroad during February half-term - in France, Spain or Germany - which has proved an invaluable experience for previous students.
The assessment consists of three papers. Paper 1 is the Listening, Reading and Writing assessment (2h30mins and 50% of the A-Level) ; Paper 2 is the Writing assessment (2 hours and 20% of A-Level) and Paper 3 is the Speaking assessment (21-23 minutes, including 5 minutes preparation time and 30% of the A-Level).
