Acceleration in VCE Languages is not usually permitted, however, students who are able to demonstrate evidence that they have extensive language experience and the ability to manage the demands of a VCE language, for example background speaker status or study outside of school, may discuss an individual pathway for acceleration with the Languages Curriculum Leader.

 

French

 

 

 


Overview

In Year 10 French students investigate more deeply the links between the French language and culture. They analyse and reflect on different viewpoints and experiences, including their own culture.

Students learn by applying vocabulary specific to the topics studied and make use of more complex grammar to express their point of view. Students consolidate the skills involved in learning French: reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing.

Students further develop strategies for self-correction by putting into practice grammar in context. By learning to use a range of everyday language both orally and in writing to exchange information about their personal, social, local and broader issues, students explore how intercultural experience, technology, media and globalisation influence communication in the world today.

Assessment

In French students are assessed in the five macro skills that inform all language use: listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing.

Connections, comparisons and communities provide the context for learning, while the interpersonal, interpretive and presentational contexts define how students use the language.

Pathways

Students are able to engage with French-speaking communities in Australia and internationally in a variety of endeavours, such as tourism, hospitality, the arts, diplomacy, social services, journalism, commerce, fashion, education, translating and interpreting.
