St Mary’s College (Wellington)
Year 10 French
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Atkinson.
Y 10 FRENCH
Our Year 10 course builds on the topics covered in Year 9 and prepares you for interacting more confidently in daily life situations. You will learn to discuss your daily activities, the weather, shop for food and clothing, plan outings and communicate your feelings by giving reasons. You will also learn how to ask for and understand directions - a vital skill for your trip to your French-speaking country!
We hope to begin planning for a trip to New Caledonia…
CULTURAL STUDIES
(And no, it’s not just about France…) New Caledonia, Canada, French Polynesia, Morocco, Mali….the list goes on and on..
An important part of all lessons is the cultural component. You will be encouraged to access information about France and other French-speaking countries and experience French food and literature. We will listen to French songs and take part in French cooking (and eating too - of course!)
NEXT STEPS
You will find that this course provides an excellent basis for NCEA Levels 1-3 and beyond.
New Zealand is part of the global economy and knowledge of French can prepare you for a career in tourism, trade, marketing, diplomacy, interpreting, broadcasting, hospitality, music, international banking, or even winemaking.
