The French: Second Language ATAR course is designed to further develop students’ knowledge and understanding of the culture and the language of French-speaking communities, providing them with opportunities to gain a broader and deeper understanding of French and extend and refine their communication skills. The course focuses on the interrelationship of language and culture and equips students with the skills needed to function in an increasingly globalised society, a culturally and linguistically diverse local community, and provides them with the foundation for life-long language learning. Relevant and engaging tasks, delivered through a range of appropriate contexts and topics, develop literacy in the French language as well as extend literacy development in English.

In Year 11, I really enjoyed the environment and the encouragement within the classroom which allowed me to flourish in my French language studies. The cultural experiences which we participated in, including the excursion to Scents of Taste allowed me to be exposed to the French culture. Notable highlights were making iMovies encouraging French tourists to come to Australia in addition to our own exploration of a French city. I would absolutely recommend this course for any student wanting to intergrate both culture and enjoyment into their studies. Mary Schelfhout, 2019
