Languages extension syllabuses
Purpose
To inform schools about the general implementation of the Languages extension senior syllabuses.
Background
The Authority has approved the following three syllabuses dated 2009 for general implementation with Year 12 students only in 2010:
• French Extension
• German Extension
• Indonesian Extension.
All schools offering one of these extension subjects will implement the relevant revised syllabus with Year 12 students only in 2010. The syllabuses have been revised to complement the parent syllabuses in French, German and Indonesian dated 2008.
No student in Year 12 will be able to record semester units of the Authority subjects French Extension (2002), German Extension (2002) or Indonesian Extension (2003) in a learning account as of 2010.
Mailing of syllabuses
Each school offering the subjects will receive two printed syllabuses.
Schools that offer or wish to offer any of these subjects, and have not been included in the mailing, should contact the Administrative Officer (Publications), phone 3864 0330.
