About this subject
Year 7
In French at Year 7, students are introduced and become familiar with the sounds of French and recognise similarities with many English words, noting differences in pronunciation. They approximate the pronunciation and phrasing of single words and short phrases. They understand and apply elements of French grammar.
Students are encouraged to listen to, speak, read and write in French through a range of interactions. As they adjust language use to suit different purposes, contexts and situations, they notice how culture shapes language. They gradually build a vocabulary and grammatical base that allows them to compose and present different kinds of simple texts.
The major themes include:
Personal introductions and Family
Greetings
Preferences such as likes/dislikes
Number recognition
In Year 7, students will undertake either French or Indonesian for a semester.
