French – A Level

Taught at: Heolddu
Qualification: WJEC GCE AS/A Level in French

Course Overview

Modern Foreign Languages are becoming increasingly important because of their ever-increasing relevance to the world of work. Language skills are much sought after by employers in a wide range of fields and many international companies expect competence in more than one foreign language.

The WJEC AS and A level in French provides an engaging and exciting opportunity for students to build on their previous study of French. In addition to a strong focus on developing learners’ confidence and fluency in spoken French, pupils will develop an insight into other cultures and gain a greater awareness of intercultural differences.

A Level French is compatible with almost any combination of support subjects, whether arts, sciences or a mixture of both.
