Learning any language can be fun, deeply rewarding and equip you with a wide range of desirable, transferable skills. As well as improving your language skills, you will learn how to express yourself clearly and cope with unfamiliar situations. You will not only study the French language, but also the culture and society of French speaking countries throughout the world. French is a key language in global trade and combines well with the study of many other subjects and can add an international dimension to any career. Foreign languages skills are in demand by UK employers and the study of languages at A level is increasingly being seen as an advantage for applications to many different courses at the country’s leading universities
You will require a Grade 5 or higher in GCSE French. A positive approach, a willingness to talk (in French!) and a desire to learn and practise are, of course, necessary for success.
The exam is split into two written papers and a spoken exam which will be taken at the end of year 13 as an A level. Paper 1 Listening, Reading and Writing - 50% Paper 2 Writing about a French film or literary text - 20% Paper 3 Speaking - Presentation and discussion - 30%
