French A-Level (2028 exam) – Term 4 (Sept. 2027)

Course Overview

This course covers content for the AQA specification for French. It is a two-year course and assumes GCSE/IGCSE or equivalent level knowledge.

Course Method

Lessons are interactive in order to develop the four core skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Class notes are distributed in advance (when required) and are filled in during the class.

Lessons and homework follow the current AQA coursebook which must be acquired in advance:

AQA French A-Level Year 1 and AS Student Book (OUP; ISBN 9780198366881).

Homework consists of both self-marked and teacher-marked assignments. Students are expected to record and learn topic-based vocabulary each week. For a student of average ability, this course requires each week about six hours of self-study in the first year, and about eight hours in the second year, in addition to the two hours of lessons.
