About French
At
The Link all pupils attend French lessons. We aim to teach the
children to communicate in French through enjoyment and
satisfaction. This helps build their confidence and give them a
feeling of success. By studying French, pupils are given the
opportunity to discover the nature of languages and to develop
their own language and communicative skills through an
alternative medium.
Lessons are largely oral, supported by audio and video tapes,
with games and songs as an important element. Most of the topics
suggested by the National curriculum are covered: “France, me,
my family, classroom, sport, food & drink, the body, free time
activities, weather, about town, family and clothes.
Years 10 and 11 go to France on an annual day trip, often an
educational exchange with a similar French school. They are
given specific tasks to give them the opportunity to speak
French with native speakers and to experience at first hand
French culture and language.
French has become an important part of the ASDAN accreditation
scheme at The Link.
