A wide range of skills are developed during the course including communication, comprehension and analytical skills. Students continue to develop their speaking and writing skills from GCSE and will use research skills to explore cultural topics, study a film, and analyse literary texts. Independent learning is an essential part of learning a language and students are encouraged to read articles, listen to the news and watch film independently. Students are given opportunities to participate in visits abroad and, where possible, have one-to-one sessions with a native speaker.
