In the 1st cycle, French is based on six modules which are actually the different aspects or areas of life: daily life, family life and socio-cultural, economic life, environment and citizenship, well-being and health, media and communication. The schedule for the school year is divided according to these modules.

In each module are taught all the French activities: grammar, spelling, conjugation, vocabulary, written expression and oral expression. The teaching of each activity follows a pedagogical or didactic approach well known.

With regard to the evaluation method, it includes two parts: the assessment of resources and skills assessment.

Resource assessment:

Three tests.

• Text study: coef 1. This test focuses on a text followed by a questionnaire divided into two headings (Comprehension of the text 10 pts/ Language handling 10pts).
• Spelling correction: coef.1 This test concerns a text in which errors deliberately slipped must be identified and corrected.
• Dictation: Coef 1. This test concerns a text orally dictated that the learner must return in writing.

Skills assessment: Two tests.

• Written expression: Coef 2 (6th/5th); coefficient 1 (4th/3rd). This test relates to a task to be carried out by the learner by mobilizing the resources acquired.
• Oral expression: coefficient 2 (6th/5th); coefficient 1(4th/3rd) . This test covers the oral presentation, the recitation, oral comprehension and dramatization. NB. *Oral expression is the only test that is not evaluated at the BEPC. * Spelling correction and dictation are at the discretion of the examiner.

II- Second cycle. 1.1. Activities carried out. In the 2nd cycle the activities are not leaned on modules. The chronogram is based on three basic skills: a linguistic, literary and methodological.

• The linguistic activities carried out are: communication, morphosyntax, lexicology, semantics, stylistics and rhetoric.
• The literary activities carried out are: the reading of the complete works and the grouping of texts.
• The methodological activities carried out are: text summary, text analysis, discussion, dissertation, commentary composition, oral presentation, dramatization. The timetable for the year incorporates all activities in a decompartmentalised way. The assessment method has two parts as in the first cycle: the evaluation of resources and skills assessment.
• Resource assessment: only one French language test, coef 2 (series literary), coef 1 (scientific series). This test is based on a text followed by a questionnaire divided into four sections: communications (5pts); morphosyntax (5pts); semantics and lexicology (5pts); stylistic and rhetoric (5pts).
• Skills assessment: only one literature test, coef 3 (series literary); coef 2 (scientific series). This test has three subjects. - The contraction of text that counts two headings: summary or analysis (9 pts) and discussion (9pts). - The literary dissertation on a subject which poses a literary problem. - The compound commentary (literary series only) which relates to a literary text meant to be analyzed and reinterpreted. NB. All of these tests are graded probationary and baccalaureate.
