The French curriculum is designed to equip students with linguistic competence and lifelong language acquisition skills. Additionally, students鈥� intercultural understanding is enhanced by exploring a language used in over 50 countries. Classes are interactive and focus on engaging activities increasing the students鈥� confidence and communicative competence. Learning French is a fun, highly valuable 21st century skill. Students may choose either a single semester course or a full year of French by selecting both courses.
French it up! Students discover their inner 鈥淥h l脿 l脿鈥� in Units 1 and 2. The 鈥楳y Personal World鈥� unit enables the students to learn the language skills to be able to create a personal blog, talk about music style and preferences as well as what sports and activities they do to stay healthy. Students discover, analyse and compare styles of music popular in the Francophone world. Musical preferences of French and Australian teens will be compared through pen-friend letters and emails, and a collaborative class project with students from our sister School in France (Lyc茅e Saint Joseph, Roquebrune Cap-Martin).
All four skills of the language, speaking, listening, writing and reading, are assessed through a variety of instruments.
