Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish/ French)

Back

Is this course for me?

If you have enjoyed learning French and/or Spanish at GCSE and you would like to study it in much more depth then this subject is for you!

The Basics…

All pupils who choose to study a language have 10 lessons a fortnight. We currently offer qualifications in French and Spanish, a new specification through Edexcel.

What will I learn?

Topics you will study are very similar to those learnt at GCSE and KS3 but in more depth and linked to the social issues happening nowadays in the target language countries. They will include:

  • Changes in the French/Spanish society (family structure, education, work)
  • Culture in French/Spanish speaking countries (music, media, traditions)
  • Immigration and French/Spanish multicultural societies
  • An important part of History in France/Spain
  • One French/Spanish film and one French/Spanish literary book

Anything else I need to know?

Grammar and translation skills will be taught within lessons as well as speaking skills. KS5 Mandarin for native speakers is also a possibility.

Future careers:

  • Teacher
  • Translator
  • International Careers
  • Tourism
