Dear Parents,
The DELF is an internationally recognized certification of French proficiency. It certifies the student for life at the level they wrote the exam, and enriches the student’s educational or professional portfolio. DELF certifications at certain levels are required for acceptance into certain high school and postsecondary institutions.
The benefit of DELF
The benefits of completing the DELF proficiency exam are: Official proof of a student’s French language skills. Recognized in 160 countries. Recognized by universities, employers and the Canadian Federal Government. The certification is valid for life. Helps students set future language learning goals.
The exam measures a student’s ability to use French in everyday life. Students’ French skills are measured across four areas: Listening; Speaking; Reading; Writing.
Hope to see you (virtually) on Tuesday 13th at 7.30 pm.
Best Regards,
Wanda

Dear Parents and Caregivers:
We are starting a new unit in Littératie en action 8 called Un nouveau départ! Students will
explore the unit question, “Why do people move?” They will read stories about how people
react to what happens in their lives. Students will also read and view news reports, photo
essays, interviews, a poem and a graphic story based on the unit topic.
The learning goals for this unit include
Reading
Students will practise and apply the following comprehension strategies: make connections,
find clues to word meaning, pause and check, interpret primary sources, and summarize.
Writing
Students will learn about the report text form. They will write their own reports.
Oral Communication
Students will practise skills and strategies for conducting an interview.
Media Literacy
Students will analyze online research. They will learn and use the strategies for analysing
the point of view and reliability of a Web site.
At the end of the unit, students will show what they have learned by creating an archive
about why people move. They will use reading, writing, oral, and media skills and strategies
to complete the task.
You can support the learning goals for this unit at home by discussing the unit topic,
as well as the unit skills and strategies.
Sincerely,
Teacher : Wanda Canaan
