Masterclass
Region:

Location: 
SOAS, Thornhaugh Street Russell Square London

A day for Year 11-12
learners of French to demonstrate the wider links between language, culture and
history; based at SOAS.

 

The programme will consist
of two main sessions - the first will look at the history of the French empire
in North Africa, and the second will discuss
some of the cultural ramifications of this period.  Some language work will be embedded in these
sessions.

 

Students will also work with
Ambassadors to discuss their thoughts about issues raised throughout the day,
and what implications these have on the importance of languages.

Programme: 

Transition from GCSE to AS
French, and AS to A2 French can be difficult and this event will be targeted to
these age groups; to help stimulate a more holistic view of language learning -
by relating language to culture and history.

 

The day will also flag up
the availability of combined honours as a means of studying a language.
