AS French – How different is it from GCSE?
Sixth Form Induction – A-Level French course
26 June 2013
A lot of the grammar has been covered briefly in the new GCSE course
Most topics overlaps with GCSE so you know the basic vocabulary for them
We use Kerboodle – you have access out of class for listening practice/revision/homework
The style of the exam paper is similar to the new AQA GCSE
No controlled assessment! For the listening, you can control the CD
yourself
