Grade 10 - World Language

French 2A - Semester 1 (Credit: 0.50)

Semester A focuses on the continuation and enhancement of language skills presented in Level 1. Vocabulary and grammar structures are revisited and expanded to provide students an opportunity to move towards an intermediate comprehension level. Speaking and listening skills are enhanced through recommended real-life voice activities. Listening skills are honed through online dialogues. Reading and writing skills are developed through access to completion of meaningful activities, reading of culturally-related articles of interest and responding to reading in the target language. The use of technology enhances and reinforces authentic language development and fosters cultural understandings through exposure to native speakers and their daily routines.

Major Concepts:

Learning a language is an on-going process.
The recognition and use of patterns of verb forms gives the speaker a wider range of communication skills.
Successful communication requires knowledge of culture and customs.
Culture influences perception, perspectives, values, and reaction.
