(MFR--11)
The goal of the French 11 program is to further the use of the language in daily situations, to broaden the range of texts studied, and to expand upon the Core Competencies introduced in French 8-10. Students demonstrate their learning through storytelling, justifying their views and opinions, predicting future events and sharing personal experiences. Increased knowledge of the language provides even more opportunities for creative expression and the critical analysis of a broader range of topics and themes. Students are encouraged to engage with Francophone communities, to appreciate the regional variations of Francophone cultural groups, and to value The First People’s contribution to the language and culture of Francophone communities in Canada.
**The successful completion of Core French 11 will satisfy the second language requirement of BC universities.
