YEAR 11
Status
French, German, Japanese and
Spanish are offered. These are
optional subjects.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of
Year 10 course or its equivalent.
Periods per week
Four. This is a year long course.
Description
Students are now working towards understanding
and producing more complex language. They
focus on communicating beyond their immediate
context – for example, talking about the past or
future, and they encounter a variety of text types.
Students are encouraged to express personal
ideas/opinions and to respond to those of others,
as well as select appropriate language for specific
purposes and audience. Japense students
develop their kanji.
Equipment
All languages will require a laptop and headphones.
There will be some workbook and some booklet
based work as well as digital folders.
Assessment
Assessment dates are approximate but will be
published on the school assessment calendar.
A course outline with anticipated dates and
topics will be published on Schoolbox under each
language in February so students can plan well in
advance. Protocols and policies with regard to the
management, marking and moderation of internal
assessments are in accordance with school
policy. Students are encouraged to familiarise
themseleves with these processes.
Please notes: in 2018 there are NO reassessment
opportunities for internal achievement standards
offered. The Interact and Writing portfolios are
conducted over three terms and students are
considered to have ample time to reformat the
two samples required for each before the final
submission.
There will be a weekly vocabulary test of
prescribed examination vocabulary. Students
should prioritise this learning. The on-line learning
is easily applied to ipads and smart phones.
The following NCEA achievement standards will
be offered in 2018. Students can obtain 19 credits.
There will be three internal assessments to the
value of 14 credits and one external assessment
to the value of 14 credits and one external
assessment to the value of 5 credits.
