In year 12 students follow the OCR syllabus which includes the topics of media and advertising, daily life and school, food and drink, sport, travel and tourism. The AS examination consists of three papers which test speaking, listening, reading and writing skills but with particular emphasis on grammatical accuracy. Much of the course will be conducted in the foreign language and supplemented by regular weekly sessions with a Foreign Language Assistant (who takes students in individual or very small group sessions once a week). The main course book is the OCR recommended Tout Droit, but much use is made of additional materials such as French for Business and Zenith. Students are encouraged towards independent learning by access to satellite broadcasts, media articles from the French press and extensive background reading to provide material for their oral presentation. There
are also opportunities for students to visit France, either by
joining the French exchange for a work experience week, or by
attending the Brittany Forum.
