Our French course will not only help you to develop confident, effective communication skills in this important world language, but also give you a thorough understanding of the culture, and an opportunity to study the geography, history, and literature of countries and communities where French is spoken. 

It will develop your interest in, and enthusiasm for language learning and will encourage you to consider your study of the language in a broader context. By the end of the course you will be confident in discussing in French your thoughts and opinions on changing trends in the media, popular culture, the causes and effects of immigration, and questions regarding fundamental global concerns such as the fair distribution of wealth and the justice system. 

You will also study a book and a film in depth. 

You will sit the following exams:

  • Paper 1: Listening, reading and writing (50%) 
  • Paper 2: Writing (20%) 
  • Paper 3: Speaking (30%)
