Course Profile   Core French (FSF4U), Grade 12, University Preparation, 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, University Preparation

Course Description

This course draws on a variety of themes to promote extensive development of French-language skills. Students consolidate their oral skills as they discuss literature, culture, and current issues. They read a variety of texts and write a formal essay. The use of correct grammar and appropriate language conventions in both spoken and written French are emphasized throughout the course (The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12, French As a Second Language-Core, Extended, and Immersion
French, 2000,
p. 17).

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. The study of French is a step towards becoming an effective communicator in both of Canada’s official languages, improving students’ understanding of self and society. This study promotes individual growth, responsible citizenship and respect for the Catholic teachings of peace, justice, solidarity, and compassion.

Course Notes

When planning and implementing this course, the teacher should take into consideration activities and approaches that are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet entrance requirements for university programs. Activities and strategies used throughout the units of this course are designed to enable students to meet the Ministry standards and expectations for FSF4U. Care has been taken to cluster the expectations to foster meaningful and relevant learning. The mastery of these expectations is demonstrated by students’ successful completion of the culminating tasks. 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.

Teaching/Learning Strategies

The use of the writing folder for the purpose of summative assessment by the teacher is encouraged. Some teachers choose to include regular journal entries as a means of reinforcement of sentence and language structures.

Instructional strategies include:

·         cooperative learning activities, e.g., jigsaw

·         formal and informal presentation of notions and concepts

·         brainstorming

Students:

·         applying the writing process

·         developing and discussing a thesis

·         expressing opinions

·         following instructions

·         giving oral presentations on specific topics

·         responding to presentations

·         interviews

·         extracting information from verbal cues and various media

·         reading authentic texts

·         researching from a variety of sources

·         preparing presentation materials

·         communicating with experts in a field/topic

·         working individually, in pairs and in groups

·         reading and writing in a variety of genres

·         role playing/dramatization

·         debate

·         brainstorming

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 four categories of knowledge and skills, integrating the three strands. Assessments, strategies and tools allow the teacher and students to collect information on the students’ level 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 assessment strategies that are appropriate to the subject in general and to the content of each unit. Learning skills, effort, participation, punctuality, and recorded absences are reported separately and are not considered in the determination of the percentage grade. Seventy per cent of the grade will be based on assessments and evaluations conducted throughout the course. Thirty per cent of the grade will be based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, essay, and/or other methods of evaluation.
