> Ability to read in French.

At this level, students will work in various ways, independently, in pairs or in small groups on oral or written activities, developing their autonomy.
More advanced texts and works of youth literature will be studied and will sustain the vocabulary enrichment. More advanced grammar rules will be taught and the emphasis will be on more complex verb tenses.
Having acquired those skills, students will be encouraged to work on longer, more structured written expression and will practice writing their essays. Creativity in written expression will be strongly encouraged.
