The purpose of the course is to build on prior learning and to develop progressively the candidate’s knowledge of the French language, her/his competence in the four skills of Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening, and her/his ability to handle the French language in defined contexts. At this level, the development of the ability to understand and to express ideas and opinions in the French will form an important part of the course and Unit content.
French language competence at Intermediate 2 level will be developed by extending the range and complexity of the French language encountered by the candidates and by encouraging an increase in the range, fluency and accuracy in the French language that they produce. In addition to exchanging factual information with increased competence and confidence in the prescribed French language contexts, candidates will be expected to begin to develop the proficiency in the French language necessary for understanding and expressing ideas and opinions. Course assessment will derive from the three prescribed themes and will test the French language ability as defined above.
The prescribed themes and topics provide the focus for a range of activities which develop the four skills of Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening in a variety of combinations for different uses (productive, interactive, receptive, mediating) and provide a context for work aimed at developing the candidates’ knowledge of the structure/grammar of the French language.

French language development will be encouraged in the following ways:
French language use – productive/interactive/mediating:
• by extending the candidate’s ability to exchange factual information orally and in writing in the target French language on events and issues of personal and topical interest
• by extending the candidate’s ability to express simple views and opinions orally and, where appropriate, in writing in the target French language on events and issues of personal and topical interest
French language use – receptive/interactive/mediating:
• by extending the candidate’s ability to listen to texts of increasing length in the target French language and demonstrate understanding of French language of increasing complexity related to the prescribed themes

• by extending the candidate’s ability to read texts of increasing length in the target French language related to the prescribed themes, for gist and detailed understanding
Knowledge about French language:
• by extending the candidate’s awareness of key aspects of grammatical structure
• by extending the range of grammatical structure which the candidate can deploy

The Unit builds on existing good practice by encouraging an integrated teaching approach, which seeks to develop skills in combination rather than in isolation. Progression from previous levels will be in terms of the candidate’s ability to handle French language in gradually more sophisticated ways, and in terms of the range of French language encountered by the candidate. The quality and increasing accuracy of the French language which s/he produces, together with its content, will also reflect this progression.
