Level 3 French 2025

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Anna O'Farrell, Maurice Nelson.

In Level 3 French students build on all the language skills that were taught in Level 1 and Level 2, to be able to express both their own and others’ perspectives on a variety of issues. Students explore more mature topics, and there is a strong focus on oral work.  We cover several topics, such as Francophone music; social cohesion (a detailed look at marginalized groups, homelessness and criminal justice in France); a French film; New Caledonian literature and short films; the Environment. There are also options for student-led topic choices and a self-directed learning unit. Level 3 French uses a blended learning approach where there is a solid balance of face-to-face interaction and online delivery of instruction and content. As a student moving through a topic on a daily basis, they will have a high degree of control over their learning in each of the language skill areas, whilst still having the support of specific grammar and vocabulary resources. By pursuing French, they will gain valuable language skills that will be of benefit in multiple careers such as travel and tourism, law, business and communication. Language learners are proven to be highly effective communicators and decision-makers with strong perceptive abilities, all important skills needed in our future workforce.  Let us also not forget the beauty of the language and the sophistication of French culture.
