FRENCH

GRADE 7 Grade 7 French

Learning a language is learning to think in a different way. In Grade 7 French, you will jump into a French milieu, increasing your mental flexibility and creativity, and growing competent and confident in your usable command of one of Canada’s official languages. From authentic starting points such as the Grade 7 Camp Kilcoo trip, favourite photos, Québec penpal correspondence, class celebrations, physical activity, and, of course, food(!), you will listen to and read modelled French so as to learn to express effectively your own daily reality, interests, and questions. Sing along to popular French songs. Follow Lafontaine’s endearing, salutary fables of mice, lions, tortoises and hares to make them come alive on stage. Delve into your subscription to a teen magazine to discuss current events. Expand your knowledge of the francophone world while learning about French in the Americas - French Canada, New England, Louisiana, Martinique, Haïti, and French Guyana. The growth of your oral and written comprehension and communication skills will be evaluated throughout this course. Your personal learning journal will provide a fascinating track record of your progress from September to June. By fully and attentively engaging in the language experience, you will be able to strengthen your French proficiency for use in everyday situations. Building your second language skills throughout your life is an opportunity and an advantage that opens doors to the world— après vous, mademoiselle ! Some students in Grade 7 may take Grade 8 French with the permission of the Languages Head. Students taking this option are often students coming from an immersion or extended French program.
