In GCC, we offer French and Spanish for Leaving Certificate.
Aims
To foster in learners such communicative skills in the target language as will enable them to:
- take a full part in classroom activities conducted in the target language;
- participate in normal everyday transactions and interactions, both spoken and written, both at
home and abroad;
- extract information and derive enjoyment from the mass media and the more accessible Iîterature
of the target language community;
- consider as a realistic option the possibility of pursuing leisure activities, further study and/or
career opportunities through the medium of the target language.
- To give pupils a critical awareness of how meaning is organised and conveyed by the structures and
vocabulary of the target language, and thus to contribute to their understanding of the workings of
human language in general.
- To help leamers develop strategies for effective language learning.
- To equip leamers with a broad acquaintance with the cultural, social and political complexion of
countries in which the target language is a normal medium of communication and thus to help raise
their awareness of cultural, social and political diversity generally.
