Course summary

French is undoubtedly one of the major world languages, with more than 300 million people speaking it across five continents. Not only does learning another language enrich the mind, but it also opens new horizons, both personal and professional. Research has shown that people who are able to speak more than one language significantly increase their employability and earning potential, and this is certainly the case for French with its influence on domains such as cooking, fashion, theatre, the visual arts and architecture, to name but a few. By studying French at A level, you will develop your language skills greatly and become fluent in the language through studying grammar and how the language works, as well as gaining exposure to many varied sources and authentic materials such as newspaper articles, videos, literary extracts, etc. You will also discover much more about French-speaking culture, which will help you gain a better understanding of the globalised world we live in.
