An A level in French offers a varied and wide-ranging programme enabling students to make decisions about the areas that they particularly want to pursue, as well as an insight into French culture. It also teaches many skills, such as the ability to communicate clearly, be confident about speaking in public, use problem solving strategies and write coherently. The course is designed for students who wish to take their language skills to the next level; they must be prepared to participate, have ideas, be ready to work independently and be willing to be challenged. The course will also suit those students who are interested in other cultures and ways of life.
