This is the fourth year of a cumulative study of spoken and written French. The course continues to develop the four macro skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and to develop the student's understanding of the French speaking world. Students who study French to the VCE level, will have covered all the basic themes, topics, linguistic structures and vocabulary necessary to communicate in both oral and written form in everyday situations they may encounter in a French-speaking environment. In each year level all students studying French undertake at least one major common LOTE and IT task per semester. The focus is largely on creating tasks using generic software such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, Powerpoint, etc.
Students also use the Internet for communication, research, language and cultural projects.
Use is also made where appropriate of interactive CD-ROM software designed to drill, consolidate and extend particular language skills. Homework Homework is set after each lesson to practice speaking and writing tasks introduced in class. Study of new vocabulary should also be a regular part of Homework time. Listening and Speaking.
