Students will explore the influence of the past and present-day French-speaking communities. In the first year, aspects of the social context are studied, together with aspects of the srtistic life of French-speaking countries. In the second year further aspects of the social background are covered, this time focusing on issues sush as life for those on the margins of French-speaking society, as well as looking at the positive influences that diversity brings. Throughout their studies, students will learn the language in the context of French-speaking countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. They will develop their essay-writing skills through the study of a novel and film, and they will have the opportunity to carry out an Independent Research Project (IRP) as part of their speaking examination.
