“A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is ignorant of his own.” Johann Goeth
Overview
Students develop a deeper understanding that by learning a new language we gain insights not only into creation but into God himself, as different cultures focus on different aspects of God’s being. They further explore using written and spoken French to communicate with teachers, peers and others in a range of settings and for a range of purposes. Students will use language to access and exchange information on a broad range of social, cultural and youth-related issues. They socialise, express feelings and opinions, and participate in different modes of imaginative and creative expression. Students will begin to understand the differences between spoken and written French, and recognise the contribution of non-verbal elements of spoken communication and the crafted nature of written text.

“The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” That is why it was called Babel – because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:6-7, 9
