The course is provided as a continuation of language learned in Years 7 to 9 and is preparing students for their language studies at VCE level.

Students develop their communicative skills as they are introduced to more complex structures and are provided with various opportunities to consolidate these.

Learning activities engage students in the content and promote collaboration. Activities may include conversations, role plays and project work in addition to grammar based tasks and aural and written comprehension.

They continue to develop an awareness of French culture with a specific focus on changes and issues in the modern world, travel and tourism in France, life abroad and education and work opportunities. Students engage with meaningful and relevant content and they develop their intercultural awareness comparing life in France and the French speaking communities around the world, Australia and beyond.
