Year 13 French

13FRE
Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs P. Lynch.

Recommended Prior Learning

L2 French or native speaker advantage.


Year 13 French is the culmination of 7 years of language learning and opens the doors to infinite possibilities.  At this stage, students are relative subject experts.  By the end of the year, students are able to give opinions and challenge others’ opinions in French on a variety of topics that are of interest to people of their age. At this level of French, we continue to give students more ownership in programme planning. If there is a particular interest or passion within the class, we endeavour to focus on this as a learning possibility in addition to proposed topics.  Usually, we look at one or to literature studies, aspects of French history (the Revolution and World War II) and global issues such as racism, discrimination and the environment. 


The skills of reading, speaking (both prepared and conversational), listening and writing are all covered and assessed throughout the year so that students are able to both understand and produce French language. 


Year 13 French is a year long course, 8 periods per cycle. Find out what our students have to say here Why Take Year 13 French
