French 40S (FRE40S)

Course Description

French courses at GVC maintain an emphasis on the experiential approach and constant use of the language. Cultural and linguistic materials include various sources such as TV, movies, magazines, web sites, music & literature. French competency is not just the destination; it’s the route and the vehicle used to reach that destination.

​At this level, students develop more advanced language skills, including some study of classic French literature and various other creative projects/activities. The goal is to work toward functional bilingualism and preparation for post-secondary advanced language studies or additional language acquisition.

  • Grade 11 French

Units Covered

  • Units will vary depending on student interest. Grammatical concepts covered are le futur simple, futur antérieur, le conditionnel et conditionnel passé, le subjonctif, and le plus-que-parfait. Focus will be on speaking spontaneously and using transition words, conjunctions, and modifiers to expand on ideas.
