What the college says
This course assumes you have studied French for about a year and can cope in first contact situations and communicate simply in the language using the present tense. During this course, you will develop your language skills to be able to use a limited range of simple words and sentences to form statements and questions in familiar situations, giving a short talk on a familiar topic using present and past timeframes to a limited extent. You will work towards the SEG Awards (Skills and Education Group) Level 1 Award in French . This involves compiling a small portfolio of assessments done in class which will then be internally and externally verified. All fees include the cost of this accreditation.
