FSF4UP – Grade 12 Core French
//Bonne rentrée!//

Description:
Talking to people is the only real way of knowing them. That’s why a major focus of the course is a series of conversations, with the class around the table, with a classmate as a partner, with another culture or time period. As we engage in these conversations together in a language that is not our own, we will encounter newness in ourselves and in our conversation partners. À Table! Enjoy!

This course draws on a variety of themes, specifically, global challenges, science and technology, contemporary life, personal and public identities, families and communities, and beauty and aesthetics, to promote extensive development of French-language skills. Students will consolidate their oral skills as they discuss literature, culture, and current issues. They will read a variety of texts and will write a formal essay. The use of correct grammar and appropriate language conventions in both spoken and written French will be emphasized throughout the course.

In preparation for the AP French exam in May, the course requires that students demonstrate knowledge of the target culture and be able to use the language in real-life settings through their interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication.
