Andy, I think the answer to your question is that, notated the way your example is, you would certainly separate (articulate, tongue) the A by beginning it with a stroke of your tongue. In other words, the second note of the slur, G, is not connected to the A.
I think it can be more of a question if the A were marked staccato but included in the slur. I don't think there would be much debate with the A outside the slur as your example is.
You wouldn't automatically stop the A with your tongue. With a rest after it, you'd most often stop the air, but it depends on how you want the end of the note to sound. Stopping with your tongue will, as Paul suggests, produce an abrupt hand-clapped-over-your-mouth effect that isn't graceful-sounding if you want to sound graceful.
