Course summary

Never before have languages and learning a language become so valuable. Opportunities to work abroad and to travel to all parts of the globe are vastly more enjoyable if one can communicate in the language spoken in that country. Cultural knowledge and understanding remain fundamental to meaningful communication, creating relationships and access to new ideas and influences. Not only do languages enrich one’s global cultural knowledge, but they can also improve comprehension and critical thinking skills – both of which are useful for many university courses. The ability to speak another language offers more diverse opportunities and opens the door to new experiences. This A Level course provides the perfect opportunity to extend an existing understanding of a language.

Entry requirements

French is an advisable and enjoyable choice for all, and within the grasp of any pupil who has gained a Grade 6 at GCSE. Pupils who are open-minded and keen to discover the society and culture of another country tend to do well, as do those who are willing to ‘have a go’ with the spoken word.
