This course helps students to develop their understanding of spoken and written French. You will learn to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively using increasingly accurate language.

You will also be encouraged to develop your use of complex and varied language as well as your critical insights into society, culture and the way of life in France and French-speaking countries. A wide range of topics will be explored whilst improving reading, listening, speaking and writing competencies, therefore ensuring this well-rounded subject is of real interest to universities.

In order to prepare for your A-Level programme, you should aim to read as much as possible in French to extend your knowledge of vocabulary. Try to watch some French films and listen to some French music. You should also regularly revise your grammar. Take every opportunity to speak French and, if at all possible, visit France or another French-speaking country.
