Getting Started

Grade 7

Teaching Core French 7 and ready for the next stage? The four units on this page help students solidify their French foundation as they move toward the elective years. Aligned with the Grade 7 Core French curriculum, the lessons are flexible, allowing you to adapt them to meet your students’ needs. Keep building, keep exploring—et bonne aventure en français!

*If students have not acquired some of the grade 5 & 6 skills and learned the vocabulary, it may be a good idea to go back and do some review, as these units build upon their content.

Units for grade 6 & 7 are in construction and some of the information provided may be adapted once they are published. Join our mailing list to stay up to date to learn about when the units are published on SFU-BAFF’s Teaching French for Beginners website.
