Wider reading in the TL is so important at A Level to build up knowledge about culture and issues affecting countries where your language is spoken. On https://t.co/DPqzXuJfp8 students can find up to date news stories - perfect reading over the festive period!

@lewizrs Some schools spend more than 10% of the course teaching it so it feels like a much bigger deal to students.
Most universities don’t expect students to write essays in the TL for cultural modules- film and lit should have a place but not in the writing element of the A Level.
