What the college says
Studying A-level French will help students develop their confidence and communicative skills in the language and build upon the skills acquired at GCSE. The course will also enhance their knowledge and understanding of the culture of the country together with Francophone countries and study the issues and influences which have shaped French-speaking countries. Our aim is to develop an interest in and enthusiasm for learning French and to encourage students to consider French within a broader context.
