What your teen is learning
I can apply for this job because I speak
French. Preparing for post-secondary school
and the workplace, your teen will develop speaking,
reading, and writing skills in French. They
will analyze and criticize what they hear and
read. In presentations and writing, they will
plan their work and use detail. Your teen will
write a provincial diploma examination to complete
French Language Arts 30-1. For more about French
Language Arts 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, refer to the
program
of studies.
I can do more with French! Your teen
will build their French vocabulary and deepen
their understanding of Francophone cultures. With
guidance, in the form of charts, outlines and
diagrams that clearly tell your teen what is expected
of them, they will plan and complete individual
and group projects. They will analyze and criticize
the work of others, understand how written work
is organized, and use detail when describing events,
projects and experiences. For more about French
Language Arts 10-2, 20-2, 30-2, refer to the program
of studies.
How your teen is assessed
Learning is assessed using a variety of tools and strategies within the classroom.
Ask the teacher what methods they are using. The different assessment methods
tell you, your teen and your teen’s teacher about your teen’s strengths, the
areas in which they might grow and how well they are doing throughout a course.
At the end of the course, your teen will be assessed and their achievement
will be reported so that you know if they have achieved the expected learning
outcomes for the course.
At the end of French Language Arts 30-1, your teen will write a provincial
diploma examination. There are three main purposes for the diploma examination:
- to certify the level of individual student achievement in the course
- to
ensure that province-wide standards of achievement are maintained
- to report
individual and group results.
Your teen’s final mark in French Language Arts 30-1 is determined
by taking 70% of the school-awarded mark and adding it to 30% of the diploma
examination mark. Your teen must achieve a final mark of 50% or higher to
obtain credits for the course. General
information about diploma examinations and course-specific
diploma examination information are available to help you and your teen.
