Studying French at A Level can improve your career prospects and marketability in this increasingly global economy. More and more companies are looking to recruit people with advanced language skills and becoming fluent in French will allow you potentially to communicate with another 77 million people! France is our nearest neighbour, it is the largest country in Western Europe and is a country with which many British companies do business. You will develop and extend the language skills you have acquired at GCSE Level. Equal emphasis will be placed on the four skills within the themes of aspects of French speaking society such as family, cyber society, cinema, music and aspects of political life. In the second year of the course, you will begin study of a French film and a novel. Lessons will be delivered in the target language and smaller groups will ensure that each student has an opportunity to participate fully in lessons and use their French as much as possible. You will also spend one hour per week with a native French speaker in groups of three or four which will ensure that you become a confident communicator.
Grade 6 in GCSE French.
You will be assessed in all four skills at A Level. This is a linear qualification where formal examinations take place at the end of the second year. Examinations will test your knowledge of the topics covered as well as knowledge of grammar. Paper 1 will assess competence in reading, writing and listening. Paper 2 is a writing paper based on the study of the book or film, whilst a visiting examiner assesses your oral ability in Paper 3.
