Course Profile   Core French (FSF4O), Grade 12, Open, Combined

 

Course Overview

Policy Document:  The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12, French As a Second Language -
                                    Core, Extended, and Immersion French, 2000.

Prerequisite:  Core French, Grade 11, Open or University Preparation

Course Description

This course focuses on the development of French-language skills that students can use in the business world or the workplace. Students give presentations, read a selection of materials appropriate to the topics under study, and produce a variety of written assignments. The use of correct grammar and appropriate language conventions in both spoken and written French is emphasized throughout the course (The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12, French As a Second Language-Core, Extended, and Immersion French, 2000, p.21).

How This Course Supports the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations

As a Catholic faith community, we acknowledge and affirm the uniqueness of each person and the diversity of cultures present in our schools. The study of French is a step towards becoming an effective communicator in both of Canada’s official languages, and to improving students’ understanding of self and society. This course promotes individual growth, responsible citizenship and respect for the Catholic teachings of peace, justice, solidarity, and compassion through the varied activities offered throughout the units of study.

Course Notes

When planning and implementing this course, the teacher should take into consideration activities and approaches that broaden students’ knowledge and skills in topics that reflect their interests and prepare them for active and rewarding participation in the business world and the workplace. Activities and strategies used throughout the units of this course are designed to enable students to meet the Ministry standards and expectations for FSF4O. Care has been taken to cluster the expectations to foster meaningful and relevant learning. The unit activities and the final culminating task of the course provide numerous and various opportunities for students to demonstrate the extent of their achievement of curriculum expectations. During specific activities, students must be instructed to accept “no comment” as a valid answer to any questions, and to respect that people may choose not to respond at all. The teacher should be sensitive to the personal nature of the experience and support students in avoiding disclosure and discussion of sensitive issues.

Unit 1:  Occupe-toi de tes affaires!

Time:  20 hours

Unit Description

Students become familiar with the vocabulary of the business world and explore what constitutes a successful business in their Catholic community. With the aid of a guest speaker, students become aware of the key elements of a successful business. Through the various activities in the three strands, students prepare, administer, and interpret an in-school survey about community businesses operated by Catholics. Note: Students must be instructed to accept “no comment” as a valid answer to any questions, and to respect that people may choose not to respond at all.

As the culminating task, students summarize their findings, e.g., graph, paragraph, table, etc., clearly and honestly and with sensitivity to others.

Assessment & Evaluation of Student Achievement

Diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment strategies provide students with opportunities to demonstrate the full range of their learning in the three strands. Methods, strategies, and tools allow the teacher and students to collect information on the students’ levels of achievement of expectations in the four categories. The following is a suggested outline of methods, strategies, and tools used in the assessment, evaluation, and reporting process. It is understood that practices vary from classroom to classroom. It is important to maintain a balance and a variety of teaching and learning strategies that are appropriate to the subject in general and to the content of each unit. Learning skills, effort, punctuality, and recorded absences are reported separately and are not considered in the determination of the percentage grade. Seventy per cent of the grade is based on assessments and evaluations conducted throughout the course. Thirty per cent of the grade is based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, essay, and/or other student demonstration of learning.
