The course aims to encourage candidates to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of French culture and society as well as developing the ability to understand, speak and write French. The two-year course comprises three components which cover the skills of speaking, reading, listening, translation and writing; these skills are built upon those acquired and practised at GCSE. The Modern Languages department has a digital Sanako-Tandberg Language Laboratory where students are able to practise listening and speaking individually and with others, and a 'Satellite Room' where students may watch TV programmes and films from French, Belgium or Swiss channels. It is important to be able to express views orally and in writing on a wide range of topical themes such as the environment, the role communications media, and employment, education, and so on, and to learn to defend a point of view in French. Each student has one lesson a week in a group of two or three with the Foreign Language Assistant from France, Belgium or Switzerland.
