• You'll start with basic vocabulary and phrases  
• We will build up from here.
• Interactive activities ! => Games, role-play, projects to learn with fun !
• Cultural understanding => Explore French-speaking countries and their similar and different traditions. You will compare those with your own home cultures !

- Do formative tasks for each criterion (A, B, C and D).

- Receive feedback for your formatives tasks and reflect on this feedback.

- Be assessed (at least) once per criterion (A, B, C and D).

- Develop ATL skills that will help your performance in class and in real life.

You'll expand vocabulary and tackle complex grammar.

Same structure as MYP2 for formative tasks, summative assessments and ATL skills.

At the end of the year, students either stay in Emergeny level or advance to Capable.

French in MYP4

Focus on fluency and deeper cultural insights.

And... we will travel to FRANCE ! (possibility to do an exchange with French students, too)

French in MYP5

If you reach the Capable level at the end of MYP5,

you could study French B SL/HL in DP*

Prepare for personal projects and further studies !

*In some cases you can study French B coming from Emergent (to be confirmed)
