Year 13 French (Level 3)

Subject Description

Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.

Students develop the ability to express themselves more fully in the language. Students look in depth at topics such as: Social Problems, New Zealand the famous French novel ‘Le Petit Prince’ by St Exupéry and a film study “Intouchables”. Students also read a comic book about the life of Madeleine Sophie Barat.   

Students learn to use language variably and effectively to express and justify their own ideas and opinions and support or challenge those of others. They learn to use and identify the linguistic and cultural forms that guide interpretation and enable them to respond critically to texts.

  • Explore the views of others, developing and sharing personal perspectives.
  • Engage in sustained interaction and produce extended text.
  • Analyse ways in which the target language is organised in different texts and for different purposes.
