French

Course summary

The course will enable you to develop a deeper understanding of French language and culture and build on the French language skills you acquired at GCSE level. Our students are encouraged to develop their enthusiasm for language learning and to communicate confidently in French. As well as the language skills, the course helps you to develop independent learning and study skills. The course covers many contemporary topic areas such as people and society, culture, tourism, poverty, diversity, politics, immigration, work and technology, all within a French context. This will be an excellent preparation for study in higher education, as well as an invaluable asset in a job in business, law, finance, tourism, education, science and the arts. If you choose this course you would benefit from: - Experienced teacher who is a native speaker; - Optional trips to put your French into practice; in the past students have enjoyed university French days and a study visit to Paris; - A facilitating subject for university applications; - Employers are increasingly looking for people who can communicate and who are open to other ways of thinking, and this course will help you to develop these skills to the full.
