The most important reason has to be that you like it and want to become more fluent. Language learning gives you highly sought-after skills of problem-solving and interpreting, and is greatly respected by universities and employers. French is spoken by 200 million people and is the language of diplomacy and the main language of the EU. At A Level, you will learn to communicate effectively in French, by discussing interesting and relevant topics such as the modern family, media, culture, multicultural France and discrimination in France and other French-speaking countries. Part of the course will be based on the context of France during the Occupation of the Second World War, taught through literature, films and articles. Lessons are often discussion-based and you will also learn to read authentic French articles and to argue your point in writing. We will study a French film and a short book, which complement the themes from the course. Finally, the oral is based on your independent research on anything to do with France or a French speaking country. This could be anything that interests you, such as art, music, a film, nuclear power in France or even French children’s TV programmes.
