More than learning a language, A Level Italian is also the study of society and culture, history, politics and everyday life. On this course, you will develop advanced language skills and a greater understanding of Italian society and culture. The first year of the A level course will move you on from GCSE covering all four skills. Teaching is based on a thematic approach and the language is taught through a variety of contemporary issues. The study of an Italian film will be a focus in year one. The second year will enable you to develop your linguistic skills further, whilst continuing to enhance your knowledge of the Italian language, the country and its culture. The study of an Italian film and a book will be integral to the course.
5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including Mathematics and English and grade 6 or above in Italian GCSE. Students with a grade 6 in Italian GCSE will be supported in their first term by an extra grammar support session.
Most methods of assessment will be related to the structure and demands of the syllabus. Students will be assessed on their understanding of spoken and written Italian from a variety of types of authentic texts and listening material, as well as their ability to translate accurately into and from Italian. Texts and recordings will vary in length to include some extended passages. All spoken and written materials will be culturally relevant to Italy.
