French 30S
French 30S is part of the Core French (Français de base)
program beginning in grade 4. This program integrates four
components—experience/communication, culture, language,
and general language education—so that learners are able
to apply practical linguistic knowledge at a personal level.
(The Core French program is not designed to make students
bilingual.)
Objectives
• To improve French language skills
• To increase linguistic accuracy
• To expand language learning strategies
To better understand Canadian and international French
language speaking cultures
Prerequisite
French 20G
Topics
The following themes from Voyages 2 will be explored:
• Portes ouvertes (travel)
• On s’exprime (artistic expression)
• Bien dans sa peau (healthy lifestyle)
• Ça décolle! & Face à l’avenir (life after high school)
Linguistic topics include: le plus-que-parfait, le futur
antérieur, le conditionnel antérieur, l’infinitif présent,
l’infinitif passé, et le subjonctif présent.
Assignments
Students are evaluated on the development of their listening,
speaking, reading, and writing skills. Assignments include
Voyages 2 workbook exercises, research, problem-solving
activities, interviews, projects and presentations.
Benefits
Research shows that second language students develop
greater problem-solving skills, perform better in their native
language, and become more open to other cultures.
Special Requirements
This course is taught almost entirely in French. Students
must be willing to participate, be resourceful, take risks, and
feel frustrated - all essential aspects of acquiring a second
language.
Canadian History 30E (EAL)
This required course introduces students to the social and
political history of Canada. The “E” designation indicates
that adaptations will be made to the pacing and content to
accommodate the language needs of EAL students. History
content and themes will be used as a vehicle to help EAL
students improve their language, research and thinking skills.
Students may be placed in this course after placement testing
or consultation with instructor of the EAL program.
Due to the adapted pace of the course, significant changes
will be made to learning outcomes and the number of
topics covered in the standard Manitoba Canadian History
curriculum. The content therefore will focus on the following
broad topics or units:
• Canadian Geography
• First Peoples of Canada
• The Northwest Passage
• Arrival of the Europeans
• Life in New France
• The Fur Trade
• The Struggle for Canada
• The Loyalists
• Life in Upper and Lower Canada
• The Great Migration
• Canada Today
• Famous Canadians: Past and Present Canadian Culture
• Canadian Culture
When appropriate, accommodations will be made to
encourage ESL/International students to apply their thinking
skills to analyze issues and topics from their own nations as
well as those from Canada.
