Student Textbook

  • The structure of the book allows for easy planning and allows time for assessment and revision
  • Each unit is designed as a Unit of Learning to support teachers’ planning in line with the Junior Cycle Specification
  • Units and activities build slowly and progressively, becoming more challenging over the three years to ensure learning is built on and knowledge is integrated from earlier units
  • Each unit is designed and planned in line with the Modern Foreign Language Learning Outcomes
  • Instructions are also in French and English in earlier units to make the book more accessible to students
  • Learning intentions (Les Objectifs) are displayed at the beginning of each unit which makes planning convenient for teachers and helps the student focus on what to expect
  • Key grammar is listed at the beginning of each unit
  • Grammar is explained and reinforced with grammar in context exercises
  • Units all provide opportunities to engage with authentic-style French texts
  • Culture sections throughout each unit teach students about French and Francophone habits and customs, developing sociocultural knowledge and promoting intercultural awareness
  • The language learning strategies in each unit provide helpful tips for language acquisition
  • Pronunciation tutorials are signposted throughout
  • The reflection moments throughout the book and dossier develop student’s working knowledge of reflection which can then be put in action in the reflection task in CBA 1
  • The book has a task-based approach with each unit working toward a task at the end
  • Colour-coding is used to highlight different types of activities – grammar, reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural awareness
  • Extension activities (En Plus) are optional activities for more advanced language learners and function as a mode of differentiation
  • All assessment needs are covered with guidelines and samples for both CBAs and Sample Exam Papers assist with preparation for the written exam
