French is a very popular subject choice at A Level. We follow the AQA A Level French specification which offers the pupils a broad, engaging, and challenging passage through the study of French. We are extremely proud of our lessons at A Level and pupils are well-prepared for both the AS and A Level examination which are all taught by native speakers. Students in Years 12 and 13 also have a 20-minute one-to-one session every week with our French Assistant who prepares them thoroughly to their speaking exam. The curriculum explores texts from a wide range of social, historical, and cultural contexts and seeks to develop the skills of reading, listening, grammar skills, speaking as well as critical thinking in a wide range of contexts. Finally, we are constantly discussing French and French-speaking countries’ current affairs while using French news articles. Film studied at A Level in Years 12 and 13: La Haine by Matthieu Kassovitz. Book studied in Year 13: Boule de Suif by Maupassant. Theme 1 - Aspects of French-speaking society & current trends: La famille en voie de changement; la Cybersociété; le rôle du bénévolat. Theme 2 - Artistic culture in French-speaking world: Une culture fière de son patrimoine; la musique francophone contemporaine; Cinéma - le septième art. Theme 3 - Aspects of French-speaking society & current issues: Les aspects positifs d’une société diverse; quelle vie pour les marginalisés?; comment traiter les criminels. Theme 4 - Aspects of political life in the French-speaking world: Les ados, le droit de vote et l’engagement politique; Manifestations et grèves - à qui le pouvoir?; La politique et l’immigration.
