Summary:
|
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is in need of updates, the department instructors will collaborate to update the courses to benefit the students. At this time, we are submitting a revised World Language course, French III, to meet the A-G requirements.
French III is a college preparatory course for students who have successfully completed French I and French II. French III reviews all material learned previously. New grammar includes expansion in present, past, and future indicative, as well as present of subjunctive and imperative tenses. Vocabulary focuses on idioms and words used in everyday situations. All four linguistic modalities (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are stressed in order to increase fluency and self-confidence in the target language.
Students will develop intermediate to advanced-level skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking through a variety of instructional activities. The second year expands on the student’s ability to speak the language with greater fluency; emphasis will be placed on oral communication in the target language on a regular basis in order to enhance the student's linguistic abilities. Proficiency in reading comprehension is increased through the use of short stories, articles, and selected works of literature. Students also practice composition skills by writing short paragraphs and short essays on selected topics. Students continue to develop cultural understanding and awareness of the people and cultures studied. Emphasis is placed on preparing students to take the Advanced Placement French IV class and exam.
This year-long course is intended for grades eleven and twelve as an elective credit and does meet the UC/CSU A-G requirement of the “E” World Language Elective.
The textbook intended for this course is titled T’es branché by Josephson / Meyers / Wentworth with the ISBN number 978-1533821669, published in 2019. |
