French at KS4
All students except School/College Link students study French at Oaklands.
As well as helping students to understand other European cultures, GCSE in French develops the vital skills of communication, reading and writing in the target language.
Four themes are covered:
1. Media and Culture
2. Sport and Leisure
3. Travel and Tourism
4. Business, work and employment
Assessment
The 4 skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing are assessed. Candidates are entered for the various examinations according to their ability, enthusiasm and effort. Most pupils will be assessed in writing through controlled tasks. www.edexcelgcse.co.uk/french
FOUNDATION CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION IN FRENCH
We also offer a new qualification FCSE from AQA which relies more on classroom testing than terminal examination and will be of interest to those students who do not perform well in exams or in coursework. It covers the same themes as those in GCSE French and students are awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction and will be equivalent to National curriculum levels 4, 5 and 6 and has GCSE points value.
