In this course, students have the opportunity to discover different aspects of the French-speaking world, such as current trends and issues, its artistic culture and its customs. Over the two-year course, students study a French film and a French text. Whilst developing further speaking, listening, reading and writing competency, students will also learn research and investigate topics that interest them. This is a well-rounded course which is designed to enable students to: develop their skills to become better communicators, problem solvers and flexible thinkers; study some of the literature and films of the French-speaking world and learn more about its life and culture; express their views on a wide range of current issues; research topics and develop presentation and essay writing skills. By the end of the course, students will find they have learnt much more than a language. Students must prepare a specific topic for the oral exam in Upper 6th based upon an element of French or French-speaking culture of their own choice. Ideally, students should be good linguists, with a desire to improve their fluency and a willingness to learn about different cultures and to communicate.
An offer is conditional on attaining a minimum of Grade 4 in English and Mathematics at GCSE/IGCSE and a minimum of Grade 6 in the subjects applicants hope to study at A Level.
