What the college says

This specification enables learners to develop and build upon knowledge, understanding and cultural appreciation by using authentic spoken and written sources through a stimulating course of study. Learners are expected to access authentic written and spoken material in French including from online media, in their course of their language study. What qualities do you need to be successful? To succeed in the subject, a number of skills are needed. Most basic of these is the enjoyment of using words. A capable student will find genuine interest in producing complex sentences and will analyse closely the various links with English, or alternatively the areas where the languages differ. In addition to having an interest in words and expressions, the successful student will show a willingness to undertake learning of the details. The vocabulary of A Level goes beyond basic ideas, extending into politics, sociology, character study and many areas of culture and the willingness to learn, for example, the technical vocabulary associated with the environment. As an extension to this point, students do need social awareness and the ability to argue and develop ideas of everyday concern. Underlying all these abilities is attention to detail, in particular, having the precision which makes ideas and expressions clearly understandable.
