Curriculum content descriptions

compare some French language structures and features with those of English, using some familiar metalanguage (AC9LF6U03)

Elaborations

talking about grammar, using metalanguage such as ‘tenses’ and ‘personal pronouns’, identifying language elements, and talking about how they are used
comparing verb conjugations in English, French and other known languages and identifying patterns in conjugation, for example, understanding that regular verbs in English using the third singular personal pronoun he/she/it end with an s; however, in French verb endings follow a pattern and change according to the subject pronoun, for example, ‘-er’ verb endings j’écoute, tu écoutes, il/elle/on écoute, nous écoutons, vous écoutez, ils/elles écoutent
recognising faux amis and how they can lead to difficulty when learning French, for example, coin means ‘corner’, journée means ‘day’, actuellement means ‘currently’, joli means ‘pretty’, pain means ‘bread’, bras means ‘arm’
providing feedback to support peers using metalanguage, for example, editing each others written or spoken texts and work samples and justifying reasons for editing or changing text
using metalanguage to discuss features of familiar texts, for example, a shopping list serves as a reminder, a role-play at a market involves interaction and negotiation, an email or text message to a friend involves interaction and an exchange of information
