Qualification update

OCR has made the difficult decision not to redevelop AS and A Levels in Portuguese. Efforts have been made to find an awarding body to continue Portuguese and we are delighted that the DfE has gained agreement in principle from another provider to take up the provision of the A Level Portuguese.

  • Read the full update on 'less taught' languages

This specification develops an interest in, and enthusiasm for language learning. It helps candidates further develop the skills of listening, reading and writing at a level beyond GCSE. They learn about the culture of countries where Portuguese is spoken and become able to communicate with people in these countries.

Benefits

  • Builds on best practice of the GCSE and provides interesting and meaningful assessment.
  • A good basis for further study of languages at higher education.
  • The new listening feature gives candidates an opportunity to demonstrate their ability in this skill.
  • Topics for study have been streamlined.
