French & Indonesian

An introductory course in each of French and Indonesian is taught in Year 7. At the end of Year 7, students are required to choose one language for study – French or Indonesian – which is compulsory until the end of Year 8.

What will I learn?

At Warrnambool College we use a communicative approach to language study, combining listening, speaking, reading and writing skills that focus on everyday life situations. The focus is on students developing meaning and understanding related to both culture and language.

What will I do?

Year 7 topics covered in Indonesian and French include basic greetings, numbers, family, colours, food, culture and introductory grammar. In Year 8 students build on these foundation skills and improve their language proficiency.

What will this look like?

3 periods per week for one semester each.
