Course summary

Languages are all around us; they are used in so many situations whether at work, on holiday, or just casually in day-to-day life – we live in a multilingual global society. Choosing A-Level French is a really smart move if you want a fascinating subject that offers you a range of career possibilities at the end and is a lot of fun along the way. A-Level language courses are interesting and varied subjects to study and give you a broad range of knowledge and skills. Learning a language is a never-ending process; languages are constantly changing and the skills/qualifications that you gain from studying a language at A Level are incredibly important tools to have under your belt. The A Level French course is structured so that you will study four modules each year which will form the basis of the reading, writing, and listening exams and also the speaking test. With around five hours of class time a week dedicated to learning your language (two teachers delivering 5h/fortnight each), this is a fast-paced environment with noticeable improvements. The topics that you’ll cover are varied so you not only greatly improve your language speaking ability, your use of grammar, the different tenses and know tonnes more vocabulary – but you’ll also learn about culture, multiculturalism, technology, history, literature, society, crime and lifestyle.
