SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
B1. Speaking to Communicate
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 Using Oral Communication Strategies: identify a variety of speaking strategies and use them to express themselves clearly and coher- ently in French for various purposes and to
a variety of audiences (e.g., present their topic clearly and logically; organize a presentation with an introduction, middle, and conclusion; use tone
of voice, body language, and facial expressions for emphasis; make effective eye contact with the audience)
Teacher prompts: “Comment avez-vous préparé votre présentation orale?” “Comment avez-vous organisé votre présentation selon ce plan : introduction, développement et conclusion?” “Comment ajustez-vous une intonation, un débit et un volume de voix qui conviennent
à la situation (type de présentation, sujet traité, public cible, environnement)?” “Comment l’utilisation d’une voix expressive permet-elle de susciter l’intérêt de l’auditoire lors d’une présentation orale?”
Instructional tip: Teachers can encourage students to highlight their key ideas using linking words (e.g., “pour commencer”, “de plus”, “puisque”, “car”, “ainsi que”, “en résumé”, “donc”).
B1.2 Producing Oral Communications: produce prepared and spontaneous communications
in French containing information, ideas, and opinions about everyday matters and familiar
topics, with contextual and visual support (e.g., give a detailed account of a meaningful experience; speak about their school involvement, future plans, and interests outside of school; present and describe to peers an object of personal cultural significance; describe a memorable experience in the natural world, such as a fishing or camping trip)
Teacher prompts: “Comment allez-vous raconter vos expériences personnelles et vos rêves d’une façon intéressante et attirante?” “Quel vocabulaire allez-vous choisir pour exprimer vos souhaits pour l’avenir?” “Quels conseils donneriez-vous à vos camarades pour apprendre davantage sur votre propre culture?”
Instructional tips:
