Modern Foreign Languages GCSE
2
  • All students should study one of the Modern
    Foreign languages, either French or German, to
    GCSE. We recommend that students choose the
    language they have been studying since year 7.
    Students may choose to study both languages if
    they wish and any student considering a career in
    languages would be well advised to do this.
    Spanish will also be offered from year 10 this
    year but students wishing to take this subject
    must take it in addition to French or German.

3
  • All departments follow the AQA examination board
    GCSE course. All skills (listening, reading,
    speaking and writing) will be assessed.

4
  • The listening and reading skills will be
    assessed in a final examination in year 11. Each
    skill is 20 of the final mark. There is an
    option of Foundation and Higher tier. In order
    to gain grades A to C, students will need to
    take the Higher tier for those skills.

5
  • The speaking skill will be assessed in school
    and marked by the modern language teacher. This
    skill is 30 of the final examination mark. A
    minimum of two speaking tests will be done over
    the two years. There are no Higher or Foundation
    tiers for this skill.

6
  • The writing skill will be assessed in school
    under supervision. This skill is 30 of the
    final examination mark. Two pieces of writing
    must be submitted. Again there are no Foundation
    or Higher tiers for this skill.

7
  • Students opting for Spanish, or French or German
    (their second foreign language which they started
    in Yr 9) will be expected to work hard to reach
    GCSE standard in two or three years and should be
    aware of the intensive nature of the course when
    opting for this subject.

8
  • All languages will provide opportunity for
    revision work of work covered in Key Stage 3, as
    well as introducing new grammar, new vocabulary
    and topics.
