Course Content

This module focuses on how French-speaking society has been socially and culturally shaped and how it continues to change and develop, structured around themes such as the changing nature of family, the positive features of a diverse society, and how criminals are treated. You’ll use the French language to present viewpoints, develop arguments, persuade and analyse, as well as listen and respond to spoken passages from a range of contexts. You’ll summarise information from spoken and written sources, reporting key points to demonstrate your comprehension.
The second module explores artistic culture and aspects of political life in the French-speaking world, through themes such as cinema, contemporary music, immigration, and teenagers. You’ll further develop your skills as you infer meaning from complex spoken and written material, apply knowledge of punctuation, syntax, and vocabulary to communicate accurately and coherently, and translate unseen passages between French and English.
In module three, you’ll expand upon your knowledge and understanding of singular and plural forms, definite and indefinite articles, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, quantifiers, intensifiers, and more. As you progress, you’ll focus on dependent infinitives, inversion after adverbs, and how to correctly communicate using the active and passive voice.
In the fourth module, you’ll closely study texts and films. You’ll be able to choose from titles such as Candide by Voltaire, Un Secret by Philippe Grimbert, Les 400 Coups, Entre Les Murs, and La Haine. This will improve your ability to analyse and research French language source material, as well as to summarise and elaborate on key points.
