Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Jackson.

Year 12 French (FRE)

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Students determine what they learn according to their own interests and needs with relevance to the socio-cultural and linguistic context in which they are communicating. Recreation, relationships, school systems and food culture are themes covered in the external examinations. Effective communication is the central aim and the basis for this course. Teaching and learning is aimed at developing opportunities for genuine social interaction in French, and students will be provided with regular opportunities to use the language. Students will develop a greater confidence in reading and listening to French through studies including extracts of novels and films. Students will develop portfolios of writing and interactions throughout the year and submit these for internal assessment.

Pathway

WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Level 3 French and Scholarship – Level 2 must be completed prior to starting a Level 3 course.
Studying French can lead to a diverse range of careers, e.g. tourism, hospitality, diplomatic service, international business, immigration, customs, consultancy, interpreting and translation services, and many more.
Learning a second language develops skills highly sought after by business, government departments and private enterprises (oral and written communication, team working, interpersonal and intercultural awareness, analytical, strategic and conceptual thinking amongst others). It also increases your awareness of your own language and makes learning further languages easier.

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart” N. Mandela.
