1. Mme Ibara IB Français NM Bienvenue à Bonjour! Essential learnings
What is IB French SL?
Essential learnings
IB French SL/HL (Français NM/NS)) is an Honors-level French course meant to be
an SL or HL offering for an IB diploma student
a way to earn an IB certificate
a continuation of French study
The course is thematic, and will both broaden and deepen your knowledge of the language and culture.
You will be reading extensively and writing using many different text types. You will also not only polish your conversation skills but also become proficient in narration, debate, and descriptive speaking.
You will also be extending your vocabulary knowledge, which will improve your proficiency in speaking and writing.
Last but certainly not least, you will be developing international-mindedness through the study of language, culture, and issues of global significance.
I can communicate in sentences and short paragraphs in the present, future, and past about myself, my community, and what’s going on in the world (Speaking)
I can identify important information when listening to authentic sources such as films, songs, and podcasts (Listening)
I can understand the topic, main idea, and important details when reading authentic sources such as news articles, literature, and online sites in French (Reading)
I can complete paragraphs and advanced vocabulary to communicate about a wide array of subjects in formats such as s, summaries, and short essays (Writing)
I can show that I am aware of my own and other people's way of life and of the attitudes and perspectives that guide behavior and influence beliefs (Culture)
DIFFERENCES - SL vs HL:
Grammar and vocabulary are the same
Both will practice all skills, many times using the same material
HL rubrics are more rigorous for all assessments
There is a literature component to the HL course
The Individual Oral exams are completely different
