Advanced PSP French - Excelsa

Excelsa students operate with near-native fluency and exceptional cultural intelligence. Their essays and oral responses are nuanced, critical, and precise, showing mastery of style, register, and idiomatic expression. They interrogate complex issues — such as nationalism, protest, resistance, or integration — and bring depth and originality to their analysis of texts, film, and Francophone history.

Their IRP is ambitious and well-researched, often involving scholarly sources, interviews, or advanced cultural theory. They set the tone for discussion in class and contribute to the academic culture of the department. These students are deeply prepared for university-level humanities or languages study — and for engaging with the world as articulate, agile, and culturally literate thinkers.
