What will I learn?
This course aims to consolidate and extend the studentsâ skills in oral/aural and written communication French with a balanced emphasis on all skills. It enables students to develop an awareness of another culture and deeper understanding not only of French, but also of their own language.
Â
Through the study of three major themes â the individual, French-speaking communities and the connections between those communities and aspects of the changing world â students develop skills in listening, speaking, writing and reading contemporary French and an understanding of French culture.
Â
Students are required to maintain a portfolio of research and language-based activities to demonstrate the development of their language skills and competencies.Â
Â
Students may have the opportunity to go on a cultural experience trip to New Caledonia during a school break. This will depend on the school's policy regarding international travel.
Â
French students who successfully complete French Level 3 in Year 11 should consider undertaking the IB Course in French (Language B) in Year 12. For further details refer to the IB section (Group 2) of this handbook.
