Studying A level French will allow you to further develop the skills you have acquired at GCSE (listening, speaking, reading and writing). French is taught in a specialist language room giving students plenty of IT access to facilitate independently controlled listening practice (as in the A level exam). Grammar is an integral part of our lessons, and revision and support are provided in Year 12. You will be working in small groups, helping each other but also be challenged in order to build your confidence and proficiency in this subject. As important as the language itself, you will also learn a lot about the culture of French speaking countries, studying for example music, cinema and festivals. As well as formal lessons, we offer speaking sessions in pairs or individually every week so that you become a confident speaker. You will have the opportunity to go to France for our annual study trip and to enrol in our “French films” enrichment club. Studying A level French opens your mind to new cultures and ideas and allows you to become a better listener, speaker and problem solver.
