French A Level
at The Judd School, Tonbridge · school or sixth form
What the college says
French is an extremely popular choice at Judd with up to 40 students choosing to study it in Year 12 each year! We have very high expectations of our students and expect all to work hard to achieve their best'. The French department conducts lessons where possible in the target language and students should expect to use French as their principal means of communication. The department emphasises a balanced approach to the acquisition of the skills necessary to support the four key skills areas (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening). Students are expected to be independently motivated and fully prepared for all lessons and to have a mature attitude towards the syllabus, both preparing the key tasks as set and also reading outside and around the subject to support their language development. Visits to French-speaking countries are encouraged either privately or through school organised exchanges with our partner school in Tourcoing near Lille. Students are encouraged to listen to French Radio and Television and to watch French Films either at home or at local cinemas when listed. The department insists on a thorough grammatical grounding and aids students to develop this throughout the course. A wide range of materials is used to support the thematic approach to language learning.
