Notre Programme De Français – Our French Programme

enhancement

French language and culture is our choice for language learning at Rutherglen Primary School.  Introduced in mid-2017 , this is a very exciting time for our school as we discover more and more about French language and culture delivered through authentic and meaningful language learning experiences.  We aim to inspire an interest in the French-speaking culture, people and places and encourage our students to continue with a lifelong love for learning languages and for respecting other cultures.

French is taught once a week in one hour sessions from Foundation to Year 6 with an emphasis on practising the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Our French language classes provide a lively and stimulating environment where students are encouraged to immerse themselves in the culture of France through participation in many different activities that integrate Music, Drama, Art and ICT.
