Beginners' French (Stage 1)
NOCN Level 1
Level 1 comprises two stages - 1A (Autumn term) and 1B (Spring term). Completing one stage will give you an accredited NOCN unit. If you complete both stages, 1A and 1B, you will receive the NOCN Level 1 Award for Language Skills.
No previous knowledge of the language is required.
Course Content
The emphasis of this 11 week course is on spoken French and on acquiring language which would be useful on holiday, such as ordering food and drink in a restaurant and asking for directions and information. We also develop conversational skills such as talking about ourselves, our families, friends, hobbies and studies.
Assessment
You complete some speaking tasks and hand in samples of work done during the course for external moderation and complete relevant paperwork - this will not be onerous!
Materials Needed
We shall be using ‘Talk French’ (BBC publications).
