We follow the AQA specification in French which covers four topics at AS level and five at A2.

The AS topics are:

  • Media
  • Youth Culture
  • Health and Well-Being
  • Family and Relationships.

Some of these topics build upon those studied at IGCSE but treatment of them is much more in-depth and discursive.  All topics are examined both in the Unit 2 Oral (35 minutes including 20 minutes’ preparation time – 30% of the AS) and in the Unit 1 Listening, Reading and Writing paper (2 hours – 70% of the AS), although the examination essay is written on just one of the topics.
