French

Course summary

We currently offer a two-year course in French. Throughout the two years, students develop an awareness and understanding of contemporary society, cultural background and heritage of France and French speaking countries. Students learn to listen, read as well as respond to a variety of spoken and written texts which include authentic materials. In class and with the French assistant, students are encouraged to use the French language accurately to express facts and ideas, and to present explanations, opinions and information in both speech and writing. Students are assessed by examination at the end of the Upper Sixth.
