La meilleure chaussure du monde!
Having studied the language and techniques used in advertising, AS French students were set the task of creating their own advertisement in French, employing the ideas discussed in class. The advertisements were then used for a peer assessment activity where the rest of the class analysed how effective and persuasive they found them.
Here, Ronan Davis, Penny Hodges, Danny Knowles and Romaine Heichtry (with some cameo roles from other students and staff) advertise "la meillure chaussure du monde"!  Did you miss the Language Crash Course!
The new term is the time to think about brushing up your language skills or learning a new language to make new friends and explore new places.
Our popular evening classes are continuing this year - classes will run in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Mandarin Chinese.
