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.
(FFRAL-10)
Required French Immersion Course
In this course, students will engage in multiple learning situations to apply the French language and use it for personal, intellectual, social, and cultural development. To achieve that goal, we will study informative writings, novels, short stories, poetry, and drama. Students will understand the value of tenses and grammar concepts under study, in order to use them appropriately and to enrich oral and written communication. Critical and creative thinking skills will be developed through a variety of oral and group activities. Understanding and identifying Aboriginal values and perspectives, as well as French-speaking worldviews, will be an integral part of this course.
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.
** This course meets the Indigenous focused graduation requirement
(MJA--10)
This course is a second year Japanese course with a more in-depth study of material already introduced and the addition of new material. For example, Hiragana script will be reviewed, but a greater emphasis on Kanji will be taught. As such, students will be able to recognized Japanese sounds and script in sentence patterns (both aurally and textually), identifying key information and details, such as describing people & objects, and articulating likes and dislikes. Students will examine a variety of sources to assist their study of the Japanese language, as well as explore very famous persons of Japanese history, comparing them to leaders of Canada's First Peoples.
