French

Outline of Course:

Content: Students follow the course called "Expo" (part 3).

Activities: They will develop their understanding and skills through a range of activities such as games, role play, surveys and other investigations.

Skills: Students will be working in all the skill areas to convey information about and understand events which happen in the present, future or past.

Homework activities: These are an extension of classroom activities and learning vocabulary and grammar form an important part of the programme. On average there will be one piece of writing and some vocabulary or grammar to learn each week.

Assessment: There is a teacher assessment at the end of the key stage. Students complete various tasks in each skill. so that the teacher has an accurate indication of their NC levels.

Parental Contribution: We hope parents will continue to encourage and support students by testing vocabulary and showing that they feel learning a foreign language is valuable.

Useful resources and equipment: A larger dictionary would be an asset for this year and certainly for the GCSE course in years 10 and 11.
