ELEMENTARY FRENCH

Bonjour !

The Elementary School French curriculum is a PYP designed program. It is based on a communicative approach and includes all six themes. It is grouped into two cycles : 

 Grade 2 and 3

      During the first two years, the program
focuses on developing/initiating the listening
and speaking skills. It allows the children to :
- -become familiar with the new sound and “music”
of the language,
- -acquire a wide range of vocabulary, survival expressions as well as gain fluency and spontaneity when using French

- learn about French culture through songs, games and various typical food 

  Grade 4 and  5

While they are exposed to more real-life-like

situations in order to practice and develop their
listening and speaking skills, the children are also:
- -introduced to the joy of reading and writing short
thematic and age-appropriate texts in French,
- -exposed to situations where more detailed
 listening/understanding and more sophisticated language structures are developed.

- learn about France and the Francophone World, cultures, geography and places of interest.

At all levels, the program  integrates other  areas of the curriculum such as one of the classroom units, Art, Music, PE and IT.
