Introduction
The course will enable you to develop a deeper understanding of French language and culture and build on the French language skills you acquired at GCSE level.
Our students are encouraged to develop their enthusiasm for language learning and to
communicate confidently in French.
As well as the language skills, the course helps you to develop independent learning and study skills. The course covers many contemporary topic areas such as people and society, healthy living, leisure and sport,education, work and technology, all within a French context.
Further Details
French combines well with any other subject on the curriculum as it is a skills-based qualification. You will have regular practice with a native speaker outside the normal subject lessons. To be successful in French, you will need to be committed and interested in the way the language works as well as in the culture and life of France or other communities where the language is spoken.
Progression Options
Success at AS level enables you to progress to the full A level qualification. This will be an excellent preparation for study in higher education, as well as an invaluable asset in a job in business, law, finance, tourism, education, science and the arts. Employers are increasingly looking for people who can communicate and who are open to other ways of thinking, and this course will help you to develop these skills to the full.
