This course is intended for students in Grades 10, 11 or 12 who wish to enroll in a secondary school French course for the first time. No prior French instruction is necessary, but elementary or middle school French would be useful. This is an introductory and accelerated course to French and will cover material from French 9 and 10.  Successful completion of this level will enable students to enroll in French 11. Students in this course will develop skills in the four core learning outcomes:  speaking, listening, writing and reading. Evaluation activities will include projects, oral presentations and interviews, written assignments, tests and listening quizzes. Students will be introduced to French cultures around the world in order to gain an appreciation of the diversity of this language. This course does not satisfy Language 11 requirements at Universities.
