11 French 1

This course will build on the language from year 9 and 10 across a range of topics.  

Students study everyday life, leisure, travel, and tourism from a French and New Zealand perspective. There is a focus on including cultural knowledge with language. The course builds confidence in communicating accurately in both present, past and future context.

All language courses are constructed on the basis of three NCEA assessments (15 NCEA Level 1 credits) and one MCEA internal assessment (5 MCEA Year 11 credits). The internal MCEA assessment will be a speaking portfolio, involving conversational French.  The NCEA achievement standards will be a writing internal, and listening and reading externals.  The MCEA course will align with future NCEA Level 2 requirements, as well as provide extension opportunities and a solid base for further pathways.
