Course Description:

The aim of the GCSE course is to provide you with the necessary tools and skills to communicate in a foreign language. After completing a GCSE in a language, you will be at the point where you will be able to start to do this effectively and a world of opportunity will then be open to you.

You should continue with the language you have studied in Years 7, 8 and 9. If you wish to take a second language, please talk to your teacher in the first instance.

Course Units

The structure of the course is the same for Spanish, French and German GCSEs.

The topics studied cover identity and culture, food and drink local area, holidays and travel; family and friends; future aspirations.

Assessment:

Students will be assessed in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Why should I study this course?

Being able to communicate in a foreign language is a skill for life and will open your mind to other cultures. You will find it easier to make friends in other countries and get much more out of going on holiday if you can speak to locals! And on a practical level, a wide range of jobs offer significantly better opportunities and salaries to those who can offer a language.
