French in Japanese Schools

The English subject for entrance exams of universities will be revised dramatically in 2020. The would-be test-takers can choose one type of English exam among six such as TOEFL and IELTS. They can take those tests at most two times and can hire their better score when they take the entrance exam.
By the way, as society globalizes, more and more high schools offer unique language lessons besides English such as French. The language is less used for the entrance exam, but diligent students choose the subject as their first foreign language taking the risks of the need to take time to study English additionally. In my opinion, it is a delightful opportunity for students to choose the language they can study to keep their motivation.
