What is GCSE Russian?
Advertisement
The Russian GCSE course provides a valuable opportunity to discover the language and culture of Russia. This is an ab initio course (i.e. it requires no previous knowledge of Russian), but the standard required by the GCSE exams is the same as for the other languages. The pace, therefore, is very brisk, but progress is smooth and rapid: we would expect virtually all students to achieve at least a Grade 8, and the vast majority get Grade 9.
During the course, students will develop their language skills in three key areas: grammatical awareness, comprehension and communication. As a result, students will become capable of understanding the language in a variety of registers as well as writing and speaking it accurately and increasingly fluently. The development of their language skills will take place within a framework of topics and issues of interest and relevance to students and to young people in Russia.
What skills are involved/developed through the courses?
This course equips students with a number of key transferable skills such as: communication (oral and written), analytical and logical thinking, creativity, literacy, independent learning, cultural and geographical awareness, teamwork and presentation skills.
What sort of student does it suit and what will they get out of the course?
