The Extended French program is one in which not only French Language Arts but other subjects are taught in French.\u00a0 The principal aim of the Extended French program is to develop students’ ability to communicate fluently and correctly in both oral and written French.\u00a0 This program helps foster the effective use of the language and the clear presentation of ideas across the total curriculum.\u00a0 Each year, students take a course in French Language Arts and they are encouraged to take at least one other complete subject in which French is the language of instruction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extended Certificate students must complete 7 French Immersion courses from the list above including all four French language courses (FEF). Many of these courses also fulfill compulsory credit requirements for the diploma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students who fulfill these requirements may be granted a\u00a0Certificate of Concentration in Extended French<\/u>. Note that this is not a \u201cbilingual certificate\u201d. A bilingual certificate may be earned through participation in Dipl\u00f4me d\u2019\u00e9tudes en langue fran\u00e7aise (DELF) testing, which is an internationally-recognized language exam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is highly recommended that students take as many courses in Grades 9 and 10 in French as they can. This helps to facilitate their language development and ensures that students have flexibility in their senior grades to take pre-requisite courses for college or university<\/p>\n

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR)<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\"Six<\/p>\n

Six levels of foreign language proficiency<\/p>\n

The CEFR describes foreign language proficiency at six levels: A1 and A2, B1 and B2, C1 and C2. It also defines three \u2018plus\u2019 levels (A2+, B1+, B2+)<\/p>\n

Based on empirical research and widespread consultation, this scheme makes it possible:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • to establish learning and teaching objectives<\/li>\n
  • to review curricula<\/li>\n
  • to design teaching materials and<\/li>\n
  • to provide a basis for recognising language qualifications thus facilitating educational and occupational mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
