10 Learning to Survive in French 2

Semester 1

Learners will be able to acquire enough French language to communicate on a range of less familiar topics and to cope in basic transactional situations in a French-speaking Country. 

Learners will acquire enough language to explore French-speaking countries themselves. They will do this by being exposed to a range of language on a range of less familiar topics. They will continue to develop their ability to communicate through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Most of the language used will be of a transactional nature. e.g. providing basic information on a range of topics to others. They will also be able to ‘survive’ in the countries where the language is spoken.

• How can we prepare ourselves?
