QCAA French study plan

Build a 120-item thematic vocabulary deck covering personal identity, family, school life and leisure, and review it daily until you reach 85% recall on a written self-test.

Conjugate 20 high-frequency irregular verbs in the present tense and score at least 18/20 on a self-made gap-fill test.

Record a 90-second self-introduction, transcribe it, correct at least five errors, then re-record it and compare the two versions.

Read two short authentic French texts and extract 15 reusable expressions into a personal phrase bank.

Narrate five personal events in the passé composé, using both avoir and être auxiliaries and applying past-participle agreement correctly.

Contrast passé composé and imparfait across 20 sentence pairs and choose the correct tense in at least 16 of them.

Listen to three two-minute authentic audio clips and answer five comprehension questions on each, recording every score.

Sustain a five-minute spoken conversation in French only, then list the phrases you had to look up and memorise ten of them.

Add 100 new items to the vocabulary deck from your Unit 2 themes and test yourself on the full deck.

Write three short emails of 60 words each in different registers (formal, informal, semi-formal), applying tu/vous conventions correctly.

Shadow two podcast episodes of about five minutes, marking liaison and intonation on the transcript.

Sit a full timed practice paper (listening, reading and a 200-word writing task) in 90 minutes without notes or aids.

Compile an error log of your 15 most frequent mistakes and write a correction rule for each one.

Reteach yourself the five weakest grammar points in the log and redo ten items per point.

Deliver a six-minute spoken exchange covering Units 1 and 2 topics, recording it for self-review.

Analyse three authentic sources (article, blog post, infographic) and state the author's purpose and tone in one justified sentence in French for each.

Learn 20 discourse connectors and use at least 10 of them in a single structured written response.

Build and rehearse a six-minute argument on a Unit 3 issue, preparing three claims with supporting evidence.

Summarise a three-minute news clip in 80 words of French without replaying it more than twice.

Compare two French-language sources on the same issue and record three points of agreement and three of disagreement.

Produce 15 sentences using the subjunctive after expressions of necessity, doubt or emotion, checked against a grammar reference.

Present a four-minute individual oral on a Unit 3 or Unit 4 issue supported by three developed arguments.

Answer eight unseen follow-up questions on that oral in French with no more than 30 seconds' preparation each.

Review the entire vocabulary deck using spaced repetition and push recall to at least 90%.

Write two exam-style texts of 250 to 300 words in 45 minutes each, applying the register and structure conventions you have practised.

Complete two full listening sections back to back under timed conditions and record both scores.

Rehearse 20 unpredictable questions about contemporary issues, answering each aloud in under 45 seconds.

Sit a complete mock examination (listening, reading, writing and speaking) under strict timing and with no reference materials.

Sustain a ten-minute paired or tutor-led conversation covering all four units, recording it and counting your hesitation rate.

Re-read the error log from week 4 and confirm which errors have been eliminated and which persist.

Compress your remaining weak points into a single revision sheet of no more than ten items and drill them daily until the final day.
