The focus of this course is to develop communication skills, to encourage the development of the knowledge and skills acquired at GCSE level and use the language learned in a wide range of contexts. You will gain a useful insight and appreciation of the society and culture of Francophone countries as well as reflecting on aspects of contemporary society. You will acquire a rich vocabulary and will learn to master the structures needed to convey more complex ideas. Where possible students will have sessions timetabled with the foreign language assistant and have the opportunity to visit France. If you want to study French at university you will need to take the A Level course but a language at AS level is a valuable asset to combine with any other programme of study. This course will enhance your employment prospects, facilitate foreign travel and allow you to experience the enjoyment and motivation of improving your linguistic level.
