The
aim of the program of studies for French as a Second Language is to
encourage the learning of French as a means of communication and as an
integral part of students’ general education. The French program
promotes a multidimensional approach composed of four components:
experience & communication, culture, language and general language
education.
Studies in French has evolved from and retains many of the strengths
of traditional approaches in second language teaching, but at the same
time, it incorporates the experiential aspect of language learning.
| Experience &
Communication |
Students participate in various language experiences that enable
them to express, in French, their experiences, ideas and feelings. |
| Culture
|
Students seek information on and understand different aspects of
Francophone culture in Canada and elsewhere with a view to
broadening their awareness of these cultures. |
| Language |
Students understand and use the sound symbol system, vocabulary,
grammar and discourse features to fulfil their communicative intents
in various situations. |
| General Language
Education |
Students
become aware of the nature of learning and its role in the students’
development. |
