Russian GCSE (Edexcel: Russian 1RUO)

Studying Russian to GCSE opens up many professional opportunities for the future.

Not least it says to a potential employer that you have committed to a character based and/or a Slavonic language for three years of study. Pupils will be taught over the next two years to understand and express themselves in Russian, both orally and on paper. They will develop particular study skills which are valuable for further study at A level.

The content of the Russian Edexcel GCSE is based on the following topic areas:

• Identity and culture • Local area, holiday, travel and school • Future aspirations, study and work • International and global dimensions

Assessment:

Paper 1: Listening: 25% – 45 minutes Paper 2: Speaking: 25% – 10–12 minutes Paper 3: Reading: 25% – 65 minutes Paper 4: Writing: 25% – 85 minutes
