French and The Big Questions

Learning is strongly linked to the Big Question "What can we learn from beyond the UK?"

Throughout the course, learners will be encouraged to reflect upon many different French-speaking societies from around the world, and the way in which these cultures and ways of life can inform our own view of contemporary issues here in the UK.
