General Conclusions from this

second year of implementation In the academic year

2015 – 2016, 11 schools offering

French.

3 Girls schools and 8

Boys schools offering

French lessons to 754

students : 160 girls 594 Boys

The number of students in Grade 11

will be slightly lower than the number in

Grade 12 mainly due to

sĐhools’ Đonstraints, i.e. necessity to recruit a

second teacher otherwise

In order to further support authentic

communication, possible solutions like

split classes with

language assistants

could be considered

(similar to language

assistant programs in

other countries)

•Selection of the Pilot Schools :

It has been noticed that many schools are reluctant to join the language project due to a lack of

understanding in the direct link between the project and Qatar National Vision 2030, despite the fact

Foreign Languages are an essential part of meeting future needs in human resources as well as in

promoting the Qatari culture and traditions internationally.

In order to further develop the project in its next phases it seems essential to straighten

communication about it at all levels.

PD Plan 2014-2015

A training plan is designed for teachers involved in the pilot project. It was designed and proposed by the French Institute of Qatar in collaboration with the

French Curriculum Specialist. It is a specific course to prepare teachers for the award of the DELF B 2.

What is the DELF exam?

Awarded and recognized around the world, the Diploma of French Language Studies is an official diploma from the Ministry of Education in France, valid for

life. Worldwide, more than 300,000 degrees are affected annually.

This modern diploma aims to officially certify the capacity of learners in real situations and covers 4 of the 6 levels of language skills according to the

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an international reference.

Why take the DELF?

- International recognition of 4 skills in French.

- DELF B2 is the minimum level required to teach French as a foreign language. It is a prerequisite that tracks the various training courses offered by the

French Institute. It will also allow teachers in the pilot schools to prepare their students for the DELF A1 and A 2.

- The development of the secondary path

- A significant enrichment and a real asset to career.

The training:

The course will be held once a month for three hours on Wednesday from 9 to 12 am on 8 sessions. Dates of the training plan were selected taking into

account both the calendar of the French Institute programming than that provided by the SEC.
