Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs P. Lynch.

Recommended Prior Learning

Year 10 French or native speaker advantage.


The Year 11 French programme allows students much more independence and creativity in their language learning journey.  By the end of the year students are able to cope capably with basic everyday communication in French. The overarching goal is to have students able to speak in both the past and the future tenses so they can talk about what they have been doing as well as their immediate plans.  Topics covered include planning holidays and talking about them, describing special people and places as well as being able to converse about everyday life in French 


The four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening are all addressed as well as exposure to cultural elements of the French speaking world.   


In the assessment framework for 2024 there are internal assessments based on speaking and writing and external assessments based on listening and reading.


Year 11 French is a year long course, 7 periods per cycle.  See what our students have to say here Why Take Year 11 French
