Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. MacKay.

Over 80% of the world's population do not speak English as a native language.  If you wish to become a global citizen, French is a widely spoken language required for working with international organisations such as the UN, UNESCO, NATO, Medecins sans Frontieres, International Red Cross, WTO etc.

Transferable skills and the many cognitive benefits include: critical, creative thinking and problem solving, proofreading, public speaking, better literacy and listening skills, mental agility, social confidence, cultural empathy, adaptability, perseverance, and better memory retention.

 The Year 12 course teaches how to communicate about future plans, give and respond to advice and suggestions, approval and disapproval, agreement and disagreement, and information and opinions while giving reasons. Students also learn to read about and recount events in the past.
