Course summary

Being able to communicate in another language is an invaluable skill in life. This explains why most students choose to study a Modern Language at GCSE and even though French remains the first choice across the United Kingdom, fewer opt for an A Level in French. This makes linguists distinctive when it comes to university selection and highly sought-after candidates when it comes to competition in the workplace and on the job market. Choosing to study A-Level French will give you a profound understanding of the language of course, but it will also give you extensive knowledge of history, politics, and literature. What the course covers: Year 12: • Film study: La Haine by Mathieu Kassovitz • Recent changes in French Society. • Political and artistic culture in French-speaking countries. Year 13: • French immigration and multicultural society. • The Nazi Occupation and the Resistance • Novel study: No et moi by Delphine de Vigan
