French 12

              At this level, students are expected to engage in increasing complex and

              spontaneous oral interactions. They demonstrate their facility with French

             and the strategies they have developed to initiate, sustain, and extend

             communication. As students read, they are able to locate information with

             confidence, skim for relevant facts, and use French language resources from

             their community and elsewhere. As students develop increasing facility with

             oral and written language, they are able to experience and respond to both

             contemporary and traditional works in a variety of genres. At this level cultural

             understanding emphasizes not only cultural knowledge, but awareness and

             sensitivity.
