MFL: French
Pupils who are at present successfully studying French should give careful consideration to the fact that a good knowledge of a modern European language would make them a valuable asset to a prospective employer.
Apart from the obvious advantage of being able to speak the language when on holiday in France, how else could you use what you have learnt at school?
When thinking about a career, the possession of a basic qualification in a foreign language will be an asset, especially since Britain's links with Europe are being improved daily.
Many commercial companies and industrial firms require people with a knowledge of a foreign language and the qualification itself shows a prospective employer that the candidate is capable of hard work and commitment.
FRENCH GCSE
This course is a continuation of that followed in Year 7,8 and 9 and aims to develop further the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Each pupil will be able to develop his/her own strengths.
Papers to be taken in the final GCSE Examination will be decided upon on an individual basis.
Pupils will be entered in skill areas at Foundation and/or High Level.
Themes to be covered throughout the 2 year course include-
- At home and abroad
- Education
- House, home and daily routine
- Social activities, fitness and health
Some pupils, for whom the GCSE course is unsuitable, will follow a modular course in which they can gain OCR Entry Level Certification or ASDAN accreditation.
All pupils will be entered for a course suitable to their individual ability.
