Description
At Level 3 students continue to build upon the skills
and language structures learnt in Level 2 with the
same achievement objectives outlined in the Level
2 description. Greater skill at manipulating the
language is required,with emphasis on being able to
develop an extended point of view. Students at this
level are expected to explore differing viewpoints
to their own and acknowledge other perspectives
on societal issues. There is added emphasis on
quality of thought and depth of argument. Topics
of study include the environment, immigration
and integration of immigrant populations, the rise
of Islam, social issues eg. the rising number of
homeless all provide a stimulus for much discussion
and exchange of views. In French and German,
students study filmand analyse literature as well as
reviewing text types. Authentic material is now very
much in evidence. Technology plays an integral role
in sourcing this material. In Japanese, students look
at communication,media, travel and tourism.
Equipment
Students require a laptop and headphones as well
as an A4 Lever Arch file.
Assessment
Assessment dates are approximate but will be
published on the school assessment calendar.
A course outline with anticipated dates and
topics will be published on Schoolbox under each
language in February so students can plan well in
advance. Protocols and policies with regard to the
management, marking and moderation of internal
assessments are in accordance with school
policy. Students are encouraged to familiarise
themselves with these processes.
