Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

The Languages Pathway 2 curriculum in French focuses on the development of communication

in a variety of social and cultural contexts in both written and spoken form.

Through multi-modal immersion and modelled use of language, the teaching and learning

program will consolidate students’ existing knowledge of French grammatical conventions, then

extend upon students’ personal vocabulary and knowledge of language structures such as verb

tenses, definite and indefinite articles, along with possessive, personal, direct and indirect

pronouns. Students will read, view, or listen to a range of multi-modal texts to obtain factual

information on defined topics of interest in order to construct conversations with others or

written reflections.

Students will develop a deep understanding of the close relationships between language and

cultural conventions that recognise social norms of purpose and context in formal and informal

communication. They will gain an understanding of diverse views and beliefs within a different

cultural community as compared with their own and be able to articulate a preference, provide

information or a point of view on a given topic.
