Course summary

Languages at AS and A2 levels build on the skills that have been developed at GCSE level (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) and take them much further through the study of topics that have a more current affairs aspect to them. These topics include media, cultural life, youth culture, racism, and the environment to name just a few. During the second year of the course, this is enhanced through the study of a film and a novel, both of which are studied in the target language. The material is tested through two exams at each level - an oral exam and a combined listening, reading, and writing exam.
