Year 10 French builds on and develops the four MFL skill areas of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. We tackle the GCSE topics in detail and build on key communication skills including those which help pupils tackle exam based questions. Pupils will develop their ability to speak and write in the target language using a variety of grammatical structures including different tenses. They will learn to express more complex opinions and justifications. In addition to completing translation tasks, they will develop different techniques for understanding more challenging texts. Regular vocabulary revision is essential in order to prepare for the GCSE exams in all skill areas.
