Bonjour, Bienvenue. Are you interested in learning about the language, culture, history and current affairs of the French speaking world? If so, studying a language at Advanced level could be for you. During the two year course, you will gain a deep insight into French culture through the study of film, literature, music, art and politics. You will look closely at life in France, both today and in the past, exploring topics as varied as education, festivals and traditions, multiculturalism, immigration and the Nazi occupation during World War II. You will watch a number of French films, both classic and modern, and engage with a range of literary texts. In addition, you will develop your skills as a translator whilst building on fluency across the skill areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students also meet with a native speaker once a week for small-group conversation practice.
• Ideally you should have a grade 6 in GCSE French. • Ideally you should have a grade 5 in GCSE English language. • There is no specific GCSE maths requirement to study this course.
This is a new-style linear A level course. You will NOT be entered for an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams will determine your A level grade. You will continue to build on your listening, reading, writing and speaking as well as your knowledge of grammar. • Listening, reading, translation paper - 40% • Writing paper - 30% • Speaking test - 30%
