Level 1 French

The course focuses on communication in French using simple language in familiar contexts through the four skills, Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Students study at Levels 5 and 6 of the New Zealand Curriculum and achieve social competence with the language.  

The emphasis is on communication: using the past tenses; describing, comparing and contrasting people, places and things; about problems and solutions; in formal situations; about immediate plans, hopes, wishes and intentions.  The contexts for this communication are: sports and leisure, eating out, travel, holidays, health, making social arrangements, school and New Zealand.
