THIS COURSE IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT TO COVER THE NEW A LEVEL SYLLABUS. WE HAVE INCLUDED INFORMATION ON THE OLDER SYLLABUS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF COURSE CONTENT.
Our course aims to promote the acquisition of four essential skills: listening to, speaking, reading and writing the French language. It does this within a structure of five sections. The first covers general topic areas that will aid you in developing appropriate vocabulary as well as tackling the types of exercise you will face in the exams.
The second is designed to help with the listening element of the exam and is supported by a cassette. The third is a reference section and includes advice on such areas as using a dictionary, grammar and writing letters and essays in French. The fourth section covers two prescribed texts, although it is possible instead to answer questions on prepared topics chosen from a prescribed list. The final section contains suggested answers for all the exercises in the two recommended text books.
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).
The Syllabus:
This course prepares candidates for the Edexcel French AS level syllabus 8190, for examination in 2005 and later years. 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. Both syllabuses have been chosen as they are the most suited to the distance learner.
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)
- Listening and writing; reading and writing; writing in registers
It is possible to sit the full A Level in a one year period but it is recommended that you do it over two years. You can purchase the full A Level or we do offer the AS or A2 Level syllabus’s as individual courses.
Practical Skills/Coursework:
No Coursework with this syllabus.
Technical Support:
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they need to keep in regular contact. The essential relationship between student and tutor begins with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan. All tutors are fully qualified teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. So when you enrol on a course you can be assured of the assistance of a professionally qualified subject specific tutor.
We don’t set a limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA’s) in every course. These help the student consolidate the learning he or she has done and prepare for examinations. All tutors have a local rate telephone number such as a 0845 number. This means that when you phone your tutor it will only cost you the price of a local call. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.
Special Requirements:
We will only admit students for A Level who have a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade C and above. These would ideally include French and Maths.

Examinations:
There are currently over 300 testing centres across the country, so finding one close by is not very difficult. In December/January we contact you to start arranging your examination dates. We always try to give whatever help we can with examination information, but the entering of students for examinations and any dealings with the examination centre’s are entirely the responsibility of the student.

On average the A Level examination fees are approximately £30 per exam but examination fees are at the discretion of the exam centre.
Studying from Abroad:
It is possible to study any of our courses from anywhere in the world. However some courses are easier to study from abroad than others and some restrictions to the type of tuition available apply. If you wish to study a GCSE or an 'A' level, then you will need to be able to return to the UK to take your examinations. Please remember that most of our GCSEs and 'A' levels have several examinations which may well be spread over several weeks.
