French NCEA Level 1

Appendix for external assessment

The appendix indicates language which students need to be able to recognise for Level 1
French examinations:
1.1 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of spoken French texts on areas of most immediate
relevance
1.4 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of French texts on areas of most immediate
relevance
The texts will reflect the communication achievement objectives levels 5 and 6 for learning
languages:

Communicate information, ideas, and opinions through different text types.

Respond to personal ideas and opinions.
Communicate appropriately in different situations.

Students are expected to understand more complex language which goes beyond the
immediate context e.g. past and future events. Students are expected to understand a variety of
text types.
This will involve sentences and frequently used expressions related to basic personal
information in areas of most immediate relevance. The texts will reflect the relationship between
language and culture and be adapted as appropriate.
Note for internal assessments
This appendix applies only to language used for the two end of year reading and listening
external assessments. The language which students will use to communicate in internal
assessment activities and associated learning opportunities throughout the year will necessarily
reflect the French teaching and learning that takes place within the context of each particular
classroom and cannot and should not therefore be restricted to solely the language and useful
expressions contained in this appendix.
NOTES TO TEACHER:
Students are expected to be able to recognise:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Where a noun, adverb or adjective can easily be constructed from the verb or vice versa;
Obvious cognates and loan words;
Numbers, days of the week and months of the year;
Structural words like articles, pronouns and prepositions
