With 220 million French speakers worldwide, and ranked the sixth most widely spoken language, fluency in French provides students with invaluable travel and work opportunities. The AGCE Level course builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE and aims to inspire students to further their appreciation of the language, literature, film and culture of the French-speaking world. Students will enhance their linguistic skills and their capacity for critical thinking; develop their ability to interact effectively with users of the language in speech and in writing, and engage critically with texts, music and films. Teachers aim to develop spontaneous use of the target language during lessons and students are encouraged to use the target language as part of group and paired activities. Teachers make use of a wide range of authentic source materials and language learning websites to support students. Learners are encouraged to immerse themselves in the language as much as possible. Most universities, including the Russell Group universities, consider French A Level as a facilitating subject. An AGCE in French prepares students for a number of higher education courses and a wide range of career choices. Language skills are in demand and can be required in almost any career: business services with trade abroad, journalism, engineering, diplomatic services, international aid worker, logistics and distribution, marketing executive, law, teaching and lecturing.
6 GCSEs (Grades 9 – 5) including Grade 5 in English and Mathematics and Grade 7 in French.
Assessments include comprehension tasks, an oral examination and two critical essays one on the set film and one on the novel.
