Welcome Welcome to the A Level French course- a stimulating course that will build on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE to help you discover how French-speaking society has been shaped, both socially and culturally and how society continunues to evolve. You will study authentic spoken and written sources in French which will help develop communication in the target language, critical thinking, research skills and creativity. Alongside this, you will deepen your understanding of French grammar and become more adept at manipulating structures. You will start Year 12 by developing your knowledge and understanding of themes relating to the culture and society of countries where French is spoken. You will study social trends such as the changing nature of family life, cyber- society and the role of voluntary work within society before considering what effect these trends have on society in French speaking countries, for example the benefits of a diversity in society and how those marginalised by society are treated. A study of artistic culture in the French speaking world will give you a greater appreciation of contemporary french music, cinema and heritage. Finally, you will learn about political engagement and who wields political power in the French-speaking world through a variety of themes such as the right to vote, the efficacy of strikes and protests and differing political attitudes towards immigration. In Year 13 you will study further aspects of social background such as life for those on the margins of French speaking society and the positive influences that diversity can bring, immigration, the political landscape and how political power is expressed through actions such as strikes and demonstrations. The study of the film “La Haine” and literary text “Bonjour Tristesse” echo these themes. You will also have the opportunity to hone your research skills by identifying an area of interest related to the themes studied and present your findings in the speaking exam. link to specification: https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/languages/as-and-a-level/french- 7652/subject-content Course Outline 2 – Getting Started A solid foundation in Grammar is essential to your A level journey.

A-La Musique Francophone READING AND WRITING (6) Petite bibliographie de Stromae Le chanteur belge Stromae – anagramme de maestro – est né Paul Van Haver à Bruxelles le 12 mars 1985. Parfois comparé au légendaire Jacques Brel pour sa qualité d’interpré- tation, Paul a grandi avec sa mère, flamande, sa sœur et ses trois frères. Son père, un architecte rwandais, est parti peu après sa naissance et il ne l’a revu que rarement avant sa mort, lors du génocide au Rwanda, en 1994. A l’âge de 10 ans, le jeune Paul commence à jouer de la batterie et des percussions. En 2000 il se lance dans le rap et choisit Stromae comme pseudonyme. Trois ans plus tard il monte le groupe Suspicion avec le rappeur J.E.D.I. Leur composition Faut k’t’arrête le Rap les fait remarquer, mais le duo se sépare et Stromae continue sa carrière en solo. Stromae participe alors à de nombreux projets musicaux. En 2008 il collabore avec le rappeur français Kerry James et compose également un morceau pour Anggun. En même temps il diffuse en ligne Les leçons de Stromae, des petits films dans lesquels il explique comment construire un morceau. Tandis que ses vidéos font le buzz, il sort en septembre 2009 le single Alors on danse. Ce mélange entre paroles graves et musique électro a un succès énorme. Le titre se classe en tête des charts en France, Allemagne et Belgique et se vend à près de 3 millions d’exemplaires dans le monde. Il se produit alors dans de nombreux clubs en Europe. Son album, “Cheese”, sort en juin 2010 et remporte, en 2011, une Victoire de la musique dans la catégorie album de musiques électroniques ou dance de l’année. Le tube Alors on danse est également remarqué par le rappeur américain Kanye West qui en fait un remix, ce qui permet à Stromae de mettre un pied sur le continent américain En 2013, pour son second opus, Racine Carrée, Stromae se sert de nouveau d’Internet pour créer le buzz. Il laisse fuiter sur le Web des images de lui apparemment ivre dans les rues de Bruxelles. Il s’agit en réalité d’extraits de son clip à venir, Formidable, premier single l’album. Plus encore que le disque précédent, Racine Carrée mélange les genres et les influences. Celle de Brel, très présente dans Formidable, laisse place à des rythmes africains et électro sur le single Papaoutai, autre énorme succès. On trouve également une participation du rappeur Orelsan sur deux morceaux. Dans Bâtard, la référence à Jacques Brel est présente. Il y dénonce les divisions en cases de la société, en évoquant le racisme, l'homophobie ou le sexisme. Sorti le 16 août 2013, le disque se classe très rapidement dans le haut des charts en France et en Belgique. En décembre 2013, plus de 700 000 exemplaires avaient déjà été vendus. Preuve que le chanteur belge intéresse de plus en plus outre-Atlantique, il a eu droit à son portrait dans le très prestigieux New York Times. En 2016 il gagne le Grand prix de la Francophonie, accordé par l’Académie Française. Côté vie privée, Stromae épouse le 12 décembre 2015 sa compagne depuis trois ans, la styliste Coralie Barbier.

My research project tackled the evolution of ballet, particularly in the French context. In other words, how did ballet evolve over time and what constitutes a ballet even with these differences. Since I was in Paris for language and cultural immersion, I decided to only focus on the French style of ballet, especially since I am familiar with the Russian style (I danced for 15 years at a Russian conservatory-like academy) and the American style (via Williams College).

    PRESS RELEASE First names for Sziget 2014 The Sziget crew is happy to announce the first names confirmed for the music program of this year’s ’Island of Freedom’ taking place between 11-18 August. Queens of the Stone Age, Calvin Harris, Placebo and many more will definitely be at Óbudai Island in the heart of Budapest this summer. In 2014 the ’Island of Freedom’ will take place one week later than previously. Károly Gerendai, founder and main organizer of Sziget Festival, said: „It seems like a good decision that we put the date of Sziget one week later, because now we can announce better names compared to this time last year. To put it simple there is a better chance that bands are on a European tour at this part of the month.” Sziget Festival was once again shortlisted amongst the top ten major European festivals this year at the European Festival Awards. As always, the music line-up will feature acts from various genres, while stars and smaller, but super exciting acts will both be presented at the stages of the event. The first names are… Queens of the Stone Age, the legendary rock band from Palm Desert, California, is known for its riff-oriented, heavy rock music. The cornerstone and charismatic leader of QOTSA is the singer-guitarist, Grammy Award winner, Josh Homme. Their latest album from 2013 ...Like Clockwork has an amazing list of contributors like Joey Castillo (former drummer), Mark Lanegan (regular collaborator and former member) and also Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). This year they are going to rock Sziget Festival for sure.

  • The Mosaert Philosophy
    our story The creative label Mosaert - an anagram of Stromae - was founded in Brussels in 2009 by Paul Van Haver (better known as Stromae), together with his brother and artistic director Luc Junior Tam, to mark the launch of the singer’s first album, «Cheese». Since the beginning of his career, the author, composer and singer Stromae has wanted to produce his own music in order to maintain greater artistic independence. This means that his label will oversee everything, from production to artistic direction and from visuals to videos, not forgetting the staging of fashion shows and costumes. 2 The album «Cheese» was released in 2011. Aided by the concept of «Lessons from Stromae», and the various videos produced by Mosaert, such as the unforgettable «Alors on danse», it proved a great success and was a key feature of popular culture in 2009 and 2010. The single «Alors on danse» reached number 1 in 16 countries, selling more than 2 million copies; it was acclaimed by critics and the public alike for its individuality and its artistic coherence. 3 In 2014, Stromae released his second album, «Racine Carrée». The roaring success and amazing adventure represented by this second project can be summarised in a few figures: songs composed, written and performed for the most part by Stromae million copies sold worldwide videos released, with one billion Internet views live tour seen by more than 5 million people, with 209 performances in Europe, North America, South America and Africa 4 5 from music to fashion In 2012, the Mosaert team met Belgian stylist Coralie Barbier while working on the second Stromae album.
