WS01 - Mes grands-parents

Languages, French, Years 9 and 10 (Year 7 entry)

By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain French language to exchange and compare ideas and experiences about their own and others’ personal world. They communicate using non-verbal, spoken and written language to collaborate, plan and reflect on activities and events. They interpret and analyse information and ideas in texts and demonstrate understanding of different perspectives. They synthesise information and respond in French or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written French to create texts.

 

Students apply features of the French sound system to enhance fluency and demonstrate understanding of the sound system in spoken exchanges. They select and apply knowledge of language conventions, structures and features to interact, make meaning and create texts. They support discussion of structures and features of texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own language use and cultural identity, and draw on their experience of learning French, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
