French is one of the major languages in the world. It is used in
parts of Europe, Canada, North America, Africa, the Middle East, the
West Indies, the Indian Ocean region and the South Pacific region
close to Australia, namely New Caledonia, Tahiti and Vanuatu.
French has been, by tradition,
the language of diplomacy. It is an official language in a large
number of international organisations including the United Nations
Organisation, the European Union, the South Pacific Commission, the
Organisation for African Unity and the Olympic Games. It boasts a
strong presence in international conferences.
The aim of the French
K–10 Syllabus is to enable students to develop communication
skills, focus on languages as systems and gain insights into the
relationship between language and culture, leading to lifelong
personal, educational and vocational benefits.
OBJECTIVES
Each objective describes the
active commitment students will make to the acquisition of skills in
communicating in French, and to the development of knowledge and
understanding of the language and culture of French-speaking
communities. The effective delivery of French will emphasise the
equal significance and interdependence of all objectives. However,
depending on the stage of learning, one or other of the objectives
may be emphasised at any given time
