Leaving Certificate French

Leaving Certificate French

by brendan / Tuesday, 13 November 2018 / Published in Subjects

Introduction: The quantity of students taking L.C. French at Higher Level in DLS is way above the national average. As for the Junior Cert., it is a very accessible subject whose workload is not particularly heavy but from which very valuable points are earned. For those students wishing to have a foreign language solely as a third level entry requirement, French is very undemanding for the Ordinary level Leaving Cert. exam. Be conscious that student’s options can change dramatically and many find themselves, in 6th year, panicking because they suddenly find that a foreign language is required for their new choice.

Number of classes per week:                5

Course Outline:     The syllabus aims to develop learners’ communicative skills in French, to develop their strategies for effective language learning and raise their awareness of cultural, social and political diversity.

 

Assessment:           The syllabus aims to cater for a wide range of pupil ability. Assessment will be at Higher and Ordinary level.
