This course gives students an excellent grounding in all aspects of French language and culture, with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing. It allows them to show they have the skills to be successful in today’s competitive world of work, and that they are effective communicators. Students are taught using a range of multimedia resources. Websites in the target language, as well as film and literature, are central to work in class. Students also use individual study guides and past papers for homework. There are opportunities to focus on grammar and exam technique. Students also meet weekly with the French Assistant to boost their confidence and for support when preparing for their speaking exams. Lessons always include a lot of group discussion, text analysis and research using authentic materials.
Grade 6 at GCSE.
We also ask all students to sit the AS French qualification at the end of Year 12, as the AS course is the same as the first half of the A Level exam. This gives invaluable experience of the exams process, as well as the ability to gain a grade after one year.
