A Level – Edexcel French
If you have a talent for learning languages, then you might want to consider studying French at A Level.
With our world becoming more globalised by the day, the ability to speak another language, even if only to A Level, can open up many doors in your career and academic life.
Our French Course is designed to make language learning enjoyable and stimulating, and rewards advanced research and reading skills, and acknowledges the importance of French language culture.
French is spoken by 74 million people across the world, so being able to speak French can provide you with travel and work opportunities. In fact, according to the British Council’s 2013 report ‘Languages for the Future’, 49% of UK businesses look for employees who can speak French, meaning being able to speak the French language is a powerful skill to have.
If you’re planning on continuing onto higher education after school, then your knowledge of French will give you the opportunity to take a gap year in various French-speaking countries across the world. Your language skills will also provide you with opportunities to work abroad in Summer camps, where you can truly put language skills to good use.
