The sixth grade French program introduces language use in communicative contexts with an emphasis on the use of spoken language for daily, interpersonal communication. Through communicative activities, video clips and grammatical structures, students will develop basic language skills such as listening, speaking and writing. They will also gain confidence and proficiency through paired activities, role-playing, skits and dialogs. Students will learn how to greet people, make introductions including age, origin and nationalities, and talk about their family members. Students will also learn about food and how to place an order in a restaurant or a French café. They will get to apply this new knowledge in context as they get to perform a little skit simulating a situation in a French café. Later, students learn expressions that will enable them to describe people and their possessions. They will also learn to describe with more details theirs and others’ activities, their likes and dislikes, and to ask and answer questions about others’ activities. Students will study the conjugation of their first verbs. Grammar concepts are explained with greater details, along with a study of the different parts of speech.
