Specifications designed for you and your students
We have worked with teachers to design stimulating content to enable students to develop their linguistic skills alongside their understanding of Bengali culture and society. We’ve selected a broad area of study and prescribed certain aspects for closer examination.
Students study technological and social change, looking at diversity and the benefits it brings. They will study highlights of Bengali artistic culture, including music and cinema, and learn about Bengali politics including political engagement amongst the young. Students also explore the influence of the past on present-day Bengali-speaking countries.
Throughout their studies, they will learn the language in the context of Bengali-speaking countries and learn about the issues and influences which have shaped the country. Students will study texts and film and have the opportunity to carry out independent research on an area of their choice.
