KS 4 allows pupils to broaden and deepen their experience of language learnt at KS3, building on previous structures to refine their acquaintance with the language. Real emphasis is placed on active use of the language via the speaking and the writing, which is further reinforced by the passive skills of reading and listening through more age appropriate content. We follow the Full Course offered by the AQA exam board, Specification A ( please consult AQA.org.uk ). Pupils are presently taught the topic based content as set out by the exam board, where all 4 language skills are given equal weighting:- Listening 25% Themes and topics studied are : My World – self, family and friends; interests and hobbies; home and local environment; daily routine; school and future plans Holiday Time and Travel – travel, transport and finding the way; tourism; accommodation; holiday activities; services. Work and lifestyle – home life; healthy living; part-time jobs and work experience; leisure; shopping. |
