French

Course summary

Studying French to A Level is a huge plus in our increasingly international world. It is a language that is spoken by millions of people across the world, not just in Europe but in places as far away as Canada and Africa, and it is therefore one of the most widely studied languages. You will study a range of topics, including those that emphasise the cultural and social issues in Frenchspeaking countries. You will continue to build on the solid foundations of grammar you have built at GCSE level and will also explore some books and films in the language. You will enjoy the satisfaction of developing much greater fluency at A Level and will quickly notice that you are able to express yourself in a much broader range of situations than you could at GCSE. You will even find that you can access a range of authentic language on your own, including films, newspaper articles and novels.
