The A2 French course comprises of the following units: Unit 3 – Oral (20 minutes 60 marks) Again there are two parts to the A2 oral examination. After 15 – 20 minutes preparation time you will be asked to discuss the issues raised in a short written stimulus passage. You will then be asked a few questions about the topic and then give your own opinion during the discussion which follows. In the second part you will give a presentation, which you have prepared in advance and then talk in detail about the issues raised. Your presentation must be about a film produced originally in the target language. Tutors will decide which film you will study. Unit 4 – Listening, Reading and Writing (3 hours 98 marks) As with Unit 2 you will have control of the listening material, which means you can listen to it as often as you like. The recordings will be based on authentic material and may include informal dialogue, news items and interviews, talks or discussions. The reading and responding part of the examination will also be based on authentic texts in the form of a narrative, interview, informative or argumentative articles. You will also have to translate a text from English into the language and write an essay in French / German / Spanish of 400 words on a different film which will be selected by the tutor. The topics in Unit 4 are divided into two groups: Environmental Issues including technology, pollution, global warming, transport, energy, nuclear energy, renewable energies, conservation, recycling, sustainability. Social and Political Issues including the role of the media, racism, immigration, social exclusion and integration, terrorism, current affairs, world of work (employment, commerce, globalisation etc).
