Evaluation

According to the provincial Core French Curriculum Guide, Sixty percent (60%) of the Intermediate Core French program is devoted to oral communication and forty percent (40%) to written communication; this same balance needs to be maintained in evaluation. Thus the evaluation scheme for this course is as follows:

Term Work 80%

Oral Comprehension 30%

Oral Production 20%

Written Comprehension 15%

Written Production 15%

Exam 20%

Oral Comprehension/Production 10%

Written Comprehension 5%

Written Production 5%

Both oral and written communication skills will be assessed using paper and pencil tests as well as informal ongoing assessment using rubrics. For example, as students participate in various activities, I will be monitoring each student’s oral performance.

Paper and pencil tests may include a set of pictures requiring the student to select the one corresponding to a description that I will give orally. For example, I may have a picture of a bird, a cat, and a horse. I may then say “this animal has wings, a beak, sings, etc” and the student will have to select the appropriate answer. For written production, for example, I may require the student to write about his/her hobbies. Keep in mind that, as outlined above, the 60-40 balance of oral and written will be maintained in any evaluation.
