Introduction

A Level French allows you to develop your understanding of spoken and written forms of French. You will be encouraged to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively in speech and in writing, with emphasis on both practical communication and grammatical accuracy. You will also develop insights into French society and culture through the study of topics including music, media, immigration and politics. We also study a contemporary film and a classic novel.
