Students will revise and consolidate some of the structures already introduced at the higher tier of GCSE and perfect their understanding and use of grammar. A wide variety of topics are covered during the course which will deepen students’ active and passive knowledge of the language; these topics will include current affairs, the media, advertising, tourism, leisure activities, the arts, social issues, youth concerns and the world of business and industry. There is no compulsory literature element, though this may be included if there is demand for it. Students will be exposed to authentic materials from an early stage and encouraged to communicate in the target language as much as possible since the majority of lessons are conducted in French. Language assistants work within the department. Transferrable skills are an important aspect of the course and looking at these in a foreign language will help students greatly in their own language. The overriding objective of the department is to enable students to play an active role in a world that is becoming increasingly international. Employment and career opportunities are greatly enhanced for applicants who can demonstrate a higher level of linguistic competence.
