Year 9 Options - NVQ Modern Foreign Languages

In today's global economy, it is vital to understand and to communicate in languages other than just english.

MYTH: The only jobs for linguists are teaching and translating

REALITY: Language graduates succeed in the following jobs: Banking, Health services, Leisure and Tourism, Accountancy, Retail, Manufacturing, Engineering and even Computing.

You can boost your salary if you speak another language.



NVQ Business Languages in French or Spanish
This exciting new option, offered for the first time next September, is a practical-based course which allows students to work more independently on a series of topics relevant to the business world.

The language units are offered in all four skill areas, Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing. The qualification (which can, at level2, offer the equivalent of a grade B at GCSE) is awarded on the basis of portfolio evidence. There are no examinations.

One element of the course is the possibility of developing links with local businesses.
