AS/A2 French

In the AS course you will learn about France and the French speaking world via topics such as cinema, music, technology, health and family. You will have the opportunity to speak French in the classroom and in small conversation groups. You will become confident in the use of tenses in French and you will broaden your French vocabulary.
During the second year, you will study two Cultural Topics as well as The Environment, The Multicultural Society and Contemporary Social Issues. Grammar studied at AS will be consolidated and further developed. As before, in addition to speaking French in class, you will have a session with the French Assistant once a week.
There will be opportunities to take part in a one week residential trip at AS and a weekend in Paris at A2.
