A level French

Course summary

The study of languages has a broad educational value. Language is central to human understanding – the course develops communication and grammar skills together with an ability to analyse, interpret and evaluate texts and spoken language. Speaking a new language helps you not only to get to know other people and their cultures but it opens your mind to new ideas and new ways of looking at the world. Universities nowadays look for candidates who can speak a second language and sometimes they make it a basic entry requirement.
