satisfies Grade 11 French course requirement for Dual Dogwood
In FRAL, we develop the foundations necessary for the acquisition of French language through grammar study, verbal interaction, novel study as well as exploring the French language through current media sources. The intent of FI courses is for students to develop the abilities to organize ideas on a range of topics, in a clear, coherent and consistent manner, understand and use works of literature written in French, and to feel empowered by self-expression in a second language.
Learning happens through lectures, stations, discussion circles, debates, speeches, and games. Assessment through projects, quizzes, essays, participation, and interviews.
Students are expected to speak in French at all times (to teachers and their peers) during French Immersion classes.
