Year 11 > 12 At AS we will be studying the following  topics:

• The changing nature of family.
• The cyber society.
• The place of voluntary work.
• A culture proud of its heritage.
• Contemporary francophone music.
• Cinema.

It is extremely important during the summer holidays that you read and listen to French. Choose materials/topics you enjoy but also that will help you discuss the topics which you will be studying.
Revise GCSE vocabulary as much as possible on these topics and extend your bank of words through reading and listening exercises in French.
Keep up your listening skills by:

• Watching films in French (if possible with subtitles in French, so you read what you hear) either on Netflix or Lovefilms.
• Watching French trailers on www.allocine.fr
• Visit www.1jour1actu click on “les infos animées” choose a topic which interests you, watch and listen.
• Listening to news articles in French www.france2.fr or on www.franceinfo.fr (advanced)
• If you have access to a French channel at home, watch it.
• Listen to French music/find out about French singers/bands on www.tv5.org (they have a large selection of video clips with the words to the songs in the “divertissement” section)

www.tv5.org is a fantastic site with a huge amount of interesting activities to do with the French language and culture.
Keep up your reading skills by:

• Downloading a children’s book or a short story in French to a kindle. Try and find the French version of a book you used to enjoy when you were younger.
• Browsing the following websites for articles which interest you. www.1jour1actu.fr
• Visit www.lyricstraining.com click on languages at the top, choose “French”. Play the games.

If you need help translating words use www.wordreference.com
Keep up your grammar by completing exercises on www.languagesonline.org.uk
Revise how to form the different tenses (present, future, conditional, imperfect, perfect, subjunctive…) If you need help with conjugating verbs go on www.verb2verbe.com

​Please keep a diary of the listening, reading and grammar activities you have done over the summer and hand it to me at the beginning of September.
