AS French – How different is it from GCSE?


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

AS French – Why choose the course?


26 June 2013

University applications (most graduate schools require knowledge of at least one foreign language,…)

Employability (experience abroad, Europe’s 2nd largest market,…)

Language enhancement (grammar terminology, vocabulary – 1,700 cognates, 1/3 words borrowed from French, …)

Tourism (French is spoken in 68 countries…)

Social life (200 million people speak French…)

Leisure (500 Frenchfilms a year…)
