(MFR--08)
The French 8 program offers students their first experience at a more intensive study of the language. Students begin by learning basic pronunciation and the connections between pronunciation and spelling. They proceed to study the curricular competencies which include learning basic sentence structures, giving opinions, making comparisons and telling a narrative, all of which require the acquisition of theme based vocabulary. Each unit of the course allows students to personalize their learning within the themes presented, and to share their views and interests with their peers. Critical and creative thinking skills are developed as students navigate the path of building blocks required in the acquisition of a second language and in the choices they make to present their learning. Personal and social competencies are enhanced through coursework that requires frequent interaction with classmates in a safe and respectful environment. Regardless of ability, all efforts to speak and communicate in the French 8 classroom are honoured.
