This course is a further expansion of the four language skills developed in French 11. Students in French 12 are asked to challenge themselves to speak French as much as possible in the classroom. They will be expected to use a wide variety of useful vocabulary and idiomatic expressions in past, present and future tense, both in speech and writing. Students will also read and analyze relevant information from authentic documents and respond to them in both speech and writing. Some possible topics covered include: school life, the arts, the work world, travel, technology, French history and French Africa. At the completion of Core French 12 students should be able to communicate effectively and be prepared for post-secondary requirements.
