NCEA Level 3 French study guide

NCEA Level 3 French is the third-year French course within the National Certificate of Educational Achievement, the main secondary school qualification in New Zealand, which is recognised by employers and used for selection by universities and other tertiary providers in New Zealand and overseas. It suits students in their final school years who already have a solid foundation in French and want to use the language for tertiary study, work, or travel. The subject is described by NZQA as the study of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in the French language, so expect your skills to be developed and assessed across all four modes rather than in translation or grammar alone. Schools use internal and external assessments to measure how well you meet the standards: some achievement is judged during the year, including spoken and written work, and some through the end-of-year external examinations. The NCEA Level 3 French study guide has 4 sections and about 1,404 words.
