French 10

              At this point in their studies, students are able to interact

              with growing confidence in familiar situations and apply their

             growing range of language-learning strategies more consistently.

             They are able to take more risks while engaging in spontaneous

             interactions using internalized vocabulary and structures. Developing

             descriptive abilities include linking and sequencing of narrative.

             Students are familiar with a wide range of  strategies that enable

             them to select and retrieve information from a variety of sources,

             including print, radio, TV, Internet, and speakers. The forms

             and skills students use to apply and convey information for particular

             purposes and audiences are increasingly important. Students

             respond to a variety of creative works by means of oral interactions,

             journal entries, résumés, and short written texts. Students explore

             and experience the Francophone culture in countries in addition to

             Canada by learning about their history, through exposure to        

             culturally appropriate language and behaviours, and by an introduction

             to the various art forms and to simplified or adapted literary texts.
