Year 10 French
Overview
Year 10 students are well on their way to becoming confident speakers of French and critical listeners of French texts. They will be able to engage in longer, more interesting and varied dialogues, comprehend more complex spoken texts and manipulate the grammatical aspects of the language with greater ease. This is also the year when they will establish the foundation for the challenges of the French ATAR Course of Study.
Topics
