What the college says

Linguistic skills develop far beyond GCSE. Focus moves from transactional language such as shopping and talking about hobbies to analysis and evaluation of current political and social events/trends, and the artistic impact and legacy of French societies on the modern world with the study of film and literature. You must be interested in developing your linguistic ability and understanding of the cultures and societies that have given us this language to get the most from the A Level. Why study MFL? It is a Facilitating Subject, one of those preferred/required by many Universities and is a well-respected option. Whilst the lingua franca for such diverse careers as Finance, Law, Science and Performing Arts is English, the ability to understand and express oneself in a foreign language is a distinct advantage and held in high regard by potential employers.
