Important Note

Please do not purchase this course until you have received confirmation of your child’s suitability from the Teacher (who may be contacted via her Profile Page).

Important Note

This PX Classroom will only take place if a sufficient number of students reserve a place. To reserve a place, submit your order for this course as if you were going to buy it, but select ‘Direct Bank Transfer’ (not card payment) and only transfer the money much later once the Teacher has confirmed to you that the course will indeed take place (Do not create a new order in order to pay as that will purchase a second place on the course!). If the course does not run, there will be nothing to pay and your order will simply be cancelled.

Course Overview

This two-year course covers all content for the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE French specifications. Time is given in Terms 5 & 6 for exam preparation. It assumes KS3-level or equivalent knowledge. Learning a foreign language can be daunting, so this PX Classroom aims to create a supportive environment with clear, structured, grammatical instruction.

Course Method

This course follows the content of the current Pearson Edexcel IGCSE French student book which must be purchased in advanced either in print or digital form (see here). Lessons are lively and interactive with lots of opportunities to practise the four core skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Homework is set from the textbook with weekly grammatical exercises (self-marked) and skills-based tasks with teacher feedback via Google Classroom. Students will be expected to record and learn topic-based vocabulary each week. The weekly home-study normally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.

Course Details

Term 1 comprises 14 weekly lessons. Each lesson lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes with a short break in the middle.

This PX Classroom is held on Tuesdays at 2pm (London time zone), starting from Tuesday, 2nd September 2025. There will be no lessons on 21st October. The last lesson is due to be on 9th December 2025.
