French
French is a core subject for all students in S1 to S3. Teachers draw on a range of approaches to meet the needs of students through carefully planned and well paced learning experiences.
The aim is to provide an environment of creativity and innovation, to:
- Provide relevant, real-life and enjoyable contexts which build upon student's experiences
- Develop student literary skills and knowledge of an additional language
- Give frequent opportunities to communicate in a wide range of contexts for relevant purposes and real audiences
- Provide opportunities to understand, analyse and evaluate
- Broaden horizons through the exploration of a new language and culture
- Make appropriate use of technology
- Support the development of student decision making
- Provide opportunities for collaborative and individual learning
In the Senior Phase students can seek to gain qualifications in French from National 3 through to Higher level. Course outlines and entry requirements are available in our Senior Phase Course Choice Booklet.
