New Year – New AQA qualifications in Chinese

We are marking the Chinese New Year by adding a new language to our growing suite of language qualifications.

Chinese is joining French, German, Italian and Spanish in the ELC and FCSE specifications from September 2008, and will be added to the languages on offer for the new GCSEs from September 2009, subject to QCA approval.

Our very successful and popular ELC qualification is aimed at primary and secondary pupils and covers Levels 1-3 of the National Curriculum.

FCSE is our new Level 1 qualification, already attracting huge interest in its First Phase year and, following a highly successful series of launch meetings, will be available to all centres from September 2008. Designed to reward achievement at National Curriculum Levels 4, 5 and 6, FCSE bridges the gap between ELC and GCSE. Although aimed mainly at students coming to the end of KS3, it can of course be used with any learners. ELC and FCSE are versatile, flexible and manageable, providing real motivation to language learners.

Reward your students' efforts by entering them for one of these nationally recognised qualifications in Chinese.

Good luck
