  1. AQA GCSE FRENCH / GERMANFull CourseSeptember 2009 – June 2011

  2. This is a 2 year full course GCSE. Our exam board is AQA. The specification is new this year and very different from the previous specification. (…in a good way we think!)

  3. The content of the course is very similar to the previous specification:

  4. Leisure (free time and the media, holidays)

  5. Home and Environment (home and local area, environmental issues)

  6. Lifestyle (health, relationships, choices)

  7. Work and Education (school, college, future plans, current and future jobs)

  8. …but the course is now modular. There are 4 parts:

  9. Unit 1 Listening: 20% of total grade This will be assessed by a short exam in January next year. Students can retake this exam in May next year. Students will be entered at either Foundation Tier (30 minute exam) or Higher Tier (40 minute exam).

  10. Unit 2 Reading: 20% of total grade This will be assessed by a short exam in January next year. Students can retake this exam in May next year. Students will be entered at either Foundation Tier (30 minute exam) or Higher Tier (50 minute exam).

  11. Unit 3 Speaking: 30% of total grade This is assessed by Controlled Assessment. Over the 2 year course students do 3 assessments with their teacher. Teachers mark the speaking tests and AQA moderates teachers’ marking. The best 2 Speaking Assessments count towards the final GCSE grade.

  12. Module 4 Writing: 30% of total grade This is assessed by Controlled Assessment. Over the 2 year course students write 3 texts under controlled conditions. The best 2 are submitted for assessment by AQA.
