La production orale et l'ecoute
Understanding Spoken French at A2
Active listening strategies (A2)
I can use active-listening strategies to understand a simple, clear spoken French text at A2 - including catching when someone is talking about the past.
Skill 1.1
Showing comprehension of a short spoken text
I can show I understood a short, simple spoken French text - including whether it happened in the past, present or future - by answering questions about it.
Skill 1.2
Catching key details in a conversation
I can catch several key details - who, what, when, where - in a short spoken French conversation and report them.
Skill 1.3
Speaking About Now, the Past and the Future
Strategies for speaking (A2)
I can produce a clear spoken French text at A2 that talks about the past and the future, using the passe compose and the futur proche, and strategies to keep going.
Skill 1.4
Speech acts to interact and express (A2)
I can use a range of A2 speech acts - inviting, accepting/refusing, telling about an event - to interact and express myself in real situations, including about the past and future.
Skill 1.5
Recounting an event to the group
I can recount a real past event to my class - what I did on the weekend or a trip - in several connected sentences using the passe compose.

- Employer divers actes langagiers pour interagir et s'exprimer dans des situations authentiques.
Key ideas
The doc adds 'et clair' at Gr7 - listen to clear speech at natural but supported pace.
Passe compose = avoir/etre + past participle: 'j'ai mange' (I ate), 'je suis alle' (I went).
Time markers signal WHEN: 'hier' (yesterday) = past, 'demain' (tomorrow) = future, 'maintenant' (now) = present.
Futur proche = aller + infinitive: 'je vais manger' (I am going to eat).
Passe compose sounds: 'j'ai mange' (I ate), 'il est alle' (he went).
Watch out for
- Ignoring time markers and missing whether it's past, present or future.
- Using only the present tense - A2 speaking includes past and future.
- Expecting every word to be present tense - A2 includes past and future.

La lecture et le visionnement
Reading Richer French Texts
Reading strategies (A2)
I can use reading strategies - combining context, word families, and inference - to construct meaning from a richer simple French text at A2.
Skill 2.1
Vocabulary strategies for reading
I can work out new French words while reading - using word parts (prefixes, endings) and checking a glossary or dictionary when I need to.
Skill 2.2
Showing comprehension of a variety of short texts
I can show comprehension of a variety of short French texts - a message, a short article, a poster - including when events happen, and give a justified opinion.
Skill 2.3
Identifying main and supporting ideas
I can identify the main idea of a short French text and one detail that supports it, showing I understood how the text is organized.
Skill 2.4
Reading Aloud and PEI's Francophone Community
Reading aloud with fluency (A2)
I can read a familiar French text aloud with A2 fluency - handling longer sentences, making liaisons, and keeping natural rhythm.
Skill 2.5
PEI's francophone institutions
I can describe PEI's francophone institutions - the French-language school board (CSLF) and l'Ecole Francois-Buote in Charlottetown - and connect PEI's French community to the wider Francophonie canadienne.

- 2.6
- Creer des liens avec les elements culturels propres a la Francophonie et aux autres cultures.
Key ideas
Infer: use clues to guess something the text doesn't say directly.
The Gr7-9 doc says 'montrer de la fluidite' (show fluency) - later-band wording for the same aim.
Recognize past-tense forms in a text: 'a mange', 'est alle'.
Liaison: link a final silent consonant to the next vowel - 'les_amis' (layz-amee).
Combine strategies: cognates + context + structure together.
Watch out for
- Only reading literally - A2 reading includes simple inference.
- Pausing between every word in a long sentence - group into phrases.
- Not recognizing past-tense forms and misreading the time frame.

L'ecriture et la representation
Writing in Print and Digital Genres
Strategies to guide my writing (A2)
I can use strategies to guide an A2 French text - planning for the genre and reader, drafting, and checking that my past and future tenses are right.
Skill 3.1
Writing texts of different genres
I can write a simple French text in a chosen genre - an email, a text message, or a short post - print or digital, on a familiar topic, using the right tone for that genre.
Skill 3.2
Writing a short recount of an event
I can write a short French recount of a past event - a weekend, a trip, a game - using the passe compose and sequence words.
Skill 3.3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 3.1
- Appliquer des strategies d'ecriture pour orienter sa production ecrite.
- 3.2
- Ecrire une variete de textes simples sur des sujets familiers de differents genres (sous forme imprimee et numerique).
- 3.3
- Ecrire une variete de textes simples sur des sujets familiers de differents genres (sous forme imprimee et numerique).
Key ideas
Plan for genre: an email looks different from a text message or a poster.
Plan for audience: formal for a teacher, casual for a friend.
Draft, then check your tenses (present / passe compose / futur proche).
Use connectors to organize: d'abord, ensuite, parce que, donc.
The Gr7 doc adds 'differents genres (imprimee et numerique)' - print and digital text types.
Watch out for
- Writing every genre the same way - plan for the genre and reader.
- Not checking tenses - A2 writing mixes present, past and future.
- Writing a formal email in text-message style (or vice versa) - match the genre.
