What the college says

The course will build rapidly on the knowledge and understanding gained in GCSE French, so that you will quickly gain confidence in the use of spoken and written language in the context of a range of interesting broad themes with a focus on social phenomena in the French speaking world. Topics are taught using a variety of newspapers, magazines, films and plays, and the textbook recommended by the examination board. There are opportunities to participate in trips to cinema or theatre performances and conferences. You are encouraged to widen your vocabulary and cultural understanding through independent reading and watching films and you will have the opportunity to undertake a week's Work Experience in France, in order to develop your skills in a professional environment. The A Level requires you to research a topic independently. You will also develop oral fluency with a lesson per week with a French Assistante. Longer pieces of written work will be produced and you will study at least two literary texts which will include a book and either a play or film.
