Group 6 International Baccalaureate French HL Level 3
at Dane Court Grammar School, Broadstairs · school or sixth form
What the college says
Language B courses are available in French, German and Spanish. Students following Language B Higher and Standard Level courses will be expected to have studied the relevant language successfully to GCSE level. Whereas the SL courses aim to equip students with the necessary skills to be successful in the target language in both social and professional contexts, the HL courses also aim to prepare students for the study of French, German and Spanish in Higher Education. Therefore, the aim of French B, German B and Spanish B courses at Dane Court is to equip students with the skills needed to communicate effectively, and spontaneously, in the target language. To promote this, the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing will be regularly practised so that students develop their ability to both understand, and use, the spoken and written word. Learning a language is intellectually stimulating and we aim to promote the enjoyment of language learning. We also aim to raise students? awareness of the links between languages and different cultures.
