About Edexcel A-Level French
Edexcel, part of Pearson, offers internationally recognised GCSE and A-Level qualifications. Their specifications emphasise real-world application and are popular in both state and independent schools.
A-Level French develops your ability to communicate confidently in spoken and written French while deepening your understanding of francophone culture, society, and current affairs. You will study themes such as social issues, political life, immigration, the arts, and technological change in the French-speaking world, alongside a film and a literary text. The linguistic demands are significantly higher than GCSE — you are expected to express and justify opinions, analyse texts critically, and debate issues spontaneously.

Study Tips for Edexcel French
Immerse yourself in French daily — listen to French podcasts (such as France Inter or RFI Journal en francais facile), watch French films and series with French subtitles, and read articles on Le Monde or 1jour1actu. Regular exposure to authentic French dramatically improves your listening and reading comprehension.
Learn sophisticated opinion phrases and connectives (neanmoins, en revanche, bien que + subjunctive, force est de constater que) and practise using them until they become natural. These elevate your spoken and written French from GCSE level to A-Level standard.
Practise speaking French aloud every day, even if it is just narrating your thoughts. Record yourself answering practice questions and listen back critically — this builds fluency and helps you identify pronunciation and grammar errors.
Create grammar revision cards for the trickiest areas: subjunctive triggers, agreement of past participles with avoir, and the distinction between imparfait and passe compose. Test yourself regularly using spaced repetition.
