French 9—COURSE OUTLINE—Mademoiselle Stevens                                              mstevens@sd91.bc.ca

Bonjour et bienvenue! This semester, students will review familiar language as well as learn new language including verbs in present and past tenses and thematic vocabulary. We will work from the textbooks C’est à toi (It’s your turn) and Tout Ados (All Teen), which we will use daily to support learning.  Students will get used to speaking, listening to, reading and writing in French at a beginner level while acquiring more confidence in these skills—each  of these skill areas, in turn, will be assessed individually and equally according to the upcoming and revised Elementary-Secondary Curriculum and the International DELF (Diplôme d’étude de la langue Française) exam.
Students will be presented with authentic works from Francophone areas in Canada and around the world, participate in simulated activities, use French resources to learn about these different places, cultures and histories and discover the rich relationship between the English and French languages and cultures.
The course structure will be interactive and participation-based, as oral expression is an important component of second language acquisition. Regular, consistent attendance is a must in order to be successful in this class. Written work will be done mostly in class, but simple homework will also be done on a regular basis and review at home is expected.
 It is my hope that we will have a lot of fun in this class, as learning a second language can be a very rewarding, surprising and enjoyable experience. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you!

Expectations:
Students will show up on time, with necessary supplies/materials: pencil, eraser, notebook, textbook if assigned. Students will keep the school’s materials in good condition. Technological devices such as iPods, cell/smart phones are not to be used in class, even as reference tools. School policy will be enforced and if used, the item will be confiscated for the day. Important messages are reliably relayed to students through the office in a timely fashion.
Students will be accountable for their behaviour and will contribute toward maintaining a respectful, inclusive class and school environment.
Students will make every effort to hand assignments in on time—Mlle. Stevens will be informed if there are extenuating circumstances.  Missed evaluations will be made up on scheduled lunch hours. Please feel free to come work in our classroom, ask questions or ask for help when and if you need it!
Plagiarism will not be tolerated; school policy will be enforced and the student(s) will receive a zero.
