For AS and A Level students the compulsory content will cover aspects of French-speaking society, looking at current trends to include the changing nature of family, the cyber-society and the place of voluntary work. The second element will be artistic culture in the French-speaking world to encompass a culture proud of its heritage, contemporary francophone music and cinema: the 7th art form.
