10FRE

Year 10 - French

Course Description

This course builds on the foundation laid in Year 9. Students extend their understanding and use of basic vocabulary and structures and increase their knowledge and awareness of aspects of French culture. The aim is to increase competence in reading, writing, speaking and listening to French and to build confidence and sense of achievement in using the language.

The Year 10 course is based on Levels 3 to 5 of the New Zealand curriculum. The course focuses on language in use in everyday situations. However, a greater understanding of structures is developed and the learning of vocabulary and verbs is an essential component. A wide range of topics is covered including:

  • Entertainment and leisure
  • Exploring Paris
  • Music, Clothes and shopping
  • Where I live
  • Food and meals
  • French culture

Pre-requisites

Students should have completed the Year 9 course, or equivalent.
