Pupils will develop their understanding of themes relating to the society and culture of the countries where French is spoken, and their language skills; they will do this by using authentic spoken and written sources in French. The approach is a focus on how French-speaking society has been shaped, socially and culturally, and how it continues to change. Pupils study aspects of the social context together with aspects of the artistic life of French-speaking countries. Pupils should be prepared to undertake independent research.
