Level 1 French
1FRE Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms L. Mills.
Learning another language should always involve music, culture, food, films and fun! Students will learn vocabulary and grammar within useful and relevant contexts that will equip them to be able to communicate in real-life situations.
In Level 1, the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing and presenting in French are further developed. Students will gain confidence to communicate about their own world and develop intercultural communication skills. Topics may include:
- Childhood memories
- Holidays and Travel
- Illness and Injury
- Celebrations and Festivals
Students will be assessed through three or four standards, worth 5 credits each. Listening and Reading are exams that take place during the external examination period at the end of the year. A written and/or spoken presentation is completed during Term 2 and 3, and students may choose to also complete a portfolio of interactions (conversations) during Term 3.
Prerequisite: Students should be working at or towards Level 4 of the Junior Language Learning Progressions.
