Core French Program Requirements

Ontario students in Grades 4 through 8 must complete the Core French program. By the end of Grade 8, students must have received 600 hours of French instruction. The following programs from Nelson Education are recommended:

For Grades 4 to 6:

• Program Guide for the French program "Acti-Vie," Levels 1, 2, & 3.

For Grades 7 and 8:

• Program Guide for the French program "Tout ados," Levels 1 & 2.

These Elementary Core French programs consist of several theme-based units per level. The work increases in difficulty as the student progresses from one level to the next. However, within each level students may choose any six themes that are of interest to them for the school year. For enrichment work, students may choose to work through more than six units of study.

The recommended correspondence between the program levels and the grades is as follows:

• Grade 4 - Acti-Vie Level 1
• Grade 5 - Acti-Vie Level 2
• Grade 6 - Acti-Vie Level 3
• Grade 7 - Tout ados - Level 1
• Grade 8 - Tout ados - Level 2

• Contact Nelson Education at 1.800.268.2222 or 416.752.9448 to order.
• When ordering, please inform customer service that you are parents/students from the Independent Learning Centre.
• To complete the expectations of the French program adequately, you will need to purchase the "student text", the "student workbook", and the "cassette" (or CD) in each of six theme-based units.
• Please review the following pages from the Nelson Education catalogue for the complete list of ISBNs and pricing: Acti-Vie for Grades 4 - 6 or Tout ados for Grades 7 - 8.
