French As and A Level This course is designed for those who wish to improve their command of French and gain insight into the country and its people, as well as other French speaking countries and communities. The Programme of Study The course extends naturally from the skills developed at GCSE. Approximately equal emphasis is placed on each of the linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and students will also develop their translation skills from English into French and from French into English. Finally, the course will also enable students to acquire more knowledge about the contemporary culture and society of France and countries and communities where French is spoken. At A level, students will develop an understanding of the spoken and written forms of French and develop positive attitudes to foreign language learning. They will also be encouraged to communicate more confidently through spoken and written means, increasing as they do their knowledge of the contemporary society and cultural background of countries or communities where French is spoken. Students will gain a greater understanding of the French Speaking world, its society, current issues and political life. During the course, students will also increase both their fluency and accuracy in using complex and varied language in different contexts. Finally, there are opportunities to extend their French still further in clubs and activities. Higher Education and Career opportunities A foreign language is useful in any career, for example in tourism, international banking, commerce and teaching at all levels. As well as pure language degrees there are numerous possible subject combinations with French at University such as European Law and French or Business and French, History and French, Law and French and many of our former students have gone on to study the subject at university either as a pure degree or combined with another subject. It goes without saying that language qualifications are in demand in many fields and an A level qualification in French will prove invaluable in today’s global economy.
