Studying French gives you access to an enormous range of career options. As languages are no longer compulsory at GCSE, there are fewer students studying them at A Level. Therefore linguists who have studied French to A Level and beyond will seem like gold dust to future employers. Learning a modern language opens your mind to other cultures and A Level French will enable you to broaden your job prospects on all five continents. Many UK employers are prepared to offer higher salaries to people who can speak other languages. The main aim of the course is to develop the use of the language and an informed understanding of the culture and people of France. Oral communication in French is seen as being of tremendous importance and a conversation period in small groups with the French Assistant is available every week. We can also offer Year 12 students contact with a French school in Normandy so they can potentially set up an individual French exchange. Topics covered will include the family, the multi-cultural society, French contemporary music and cinema, and aspects of political life in the French-speaking world, as well as two cultural topics which will be the work of a French film director and a work of French literature.
