GCSE

What does the course involve?

(Exam board AQA)

Each skill is weighted equally:

Listening 25%

Reading 25 %

Speaking 25 %

Writing (in the form of coursework) 25%

What about homework?

Your languages teacher will ask you to carry out work at home to consolidate the learning you have achieved in class. Typically, you may be asked to do reading comprehensions, preparation for written and speaking work, vocabulary learning, or revision for exam time. You will be expected to carry out a lot of your coursework preparation at home.

Do I need any special equipment?

We recommend a Collins Easy Learning dictionary and a Lonsdale GCSE Revision guide (these are available through the faculty at a reduced cost of £3.50)

Are there any recommended websites?

Lots! There are a number of fantastic websites available to help you practise your languages.  Click here for some recommendations...
