Course Title GCSE French Examination Board AQA Specification/Code 8652 French GCSE covers a wide range of topics and grammar which give you the tools to express yourself in written and spoken conversation. Languages give you the edge because they’re academically rigorous and challenging to learn and therefore not mastered by many. In applying ourselves to a second language, we improve our aptitude for study itself, especially our listening and communication abilities. Throughout the two years you will cover a wide range of different topics including:  Family and relationships  School and employment  Hometown and region  Free time & holidays  Celebrity culture Future Careers A Language is useful in many areas of employment. Many universities offer languages in conjunction with other subjects such as Science, Humanities and Law. In addition students are often offered the chance to do work placements abroad. A language can open the door to new horizons and exciting possibilities in many sectors such as tourism, education, entrepreneurship, healthcare and much more besides.
