French A level by Distance Learning - The Course

The French A Level is split into two major components - AS and A2.  The AS level can be sat in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

There are thirteen tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs).

Key Topics Covered

The French A Level covers the syllabus in six modules of the following titles:

• Listening and writing
  

• Reading and writing
  

• Prepared oral topic
  

• Oral discussion of issues; coursework
  

• Prescribed texts (Molière: L'Avare & Mauriac: Thérèse Desqueyroux)

The Syllabus

This course prepares candidates for the Edexcel French AS level syllabus 8190, for examination in 2005 and later years. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 9190. The full Advanced Level qualification comprises AS and A2. This syllabus has been chosen because it is the most suitable for distance learning.

Assessment is by six written papers of equal weighting.
