COURSE OUTCOMES
FRENCH III
(SECONDARY)
(July 2007)
French III program includes oral, speaking, reading and writing language activities and is
generally engaged in middle and secondary school. The normal prerequisite for this course
is mastery of the units of Language II or its equivalent. In this course the students will
increase fluency in spoken and written Language, extend their vocabulary, and will be
able to comprehend native speakers. The main goal of this course is to teach the students
to master grammar and vocabulary in more complex structures.
French III gets known with the history, literature, traditions, and customs of the target
culture. This course is a prerequisite for Language IV.
The normal pace for this course leads to mastery of the ten essential units during a time
appropriate for a non-native language learner. This course is designed to meet five periods
a week, with a period being approximately 40 minutes.
Each unit is divided into Essential Outcomes, which must be assessed for mastery, and
Practiced/Ongoing Skills, which should be taught but not necessarily mastered in that
particular unit.
In addition, there is a rubric, the use of which is not required but is provided simply to
assist teachers in determining A and B levels.
This course is related to all the success orientations, competencies, and knowledge noted
in Language Other than English Program Units
The text used for this course is: Discovering French Rouge by Jean-Paul and Rebecca
Valette.
