Students planning to enroll in academic post-secondary studies following Grade 12 should check the second language requirements for the institution and program they have in mind. School counsellors can help with this. A second language is not required for BC Secondary School Graduation, but may be required at post-secondary institutions for specific programs.
(MFR--10)
The Curricular Competencies acquired in Core French 10 promote the development of skills that encourage and enhance a purposeful use of language. Students demonstrate their learning in the performance of real-life tasks, the sharing of ideas, and the acquisition and creative presentation of information in which they have a personal interest. They become more proficient in their analysis of written texts, and in their ability to recognize key structural elements both orally and in written works. With the acquisition of new vocabulary, students are able to demonstrate their growing fluency in asking and responding to questions, describing daily activities, and expressing their personal tastes, opinions, and ambitions. Access to online media in French will provide students the opportunity to explore a wide variety of Francophone communities and cultures and to further develop their awareness of and appreciation for the diversity and richness of the Francophone world.
This course is a continuation of Secwepemctsίn 9 and follows the same format, using different themes and new vocabulary and sounds of the traditional Secwepemctsίn language. The course is open to both First Nations and non-First Nations students.
