Voici un extrait du texte d’introduction du
“cadre Européen commun de références pour les
langues” que je vous invite à consulter à l’adresse
Internet suivante: http://culture2.coe.int/
portfolio/documents/cadrecommun.pdf ou bien
en tapant google.fr et cadre commun européen
de référence dans la barre de recherche.
Le texte peut paraître parfois” enfoncer des
portes déjà ouvertes” mais je pense qu’il est bon
pour nous tous de garder à l’esprit les conseils
qui suivent:
[...En accord avec ces principes fondamentaux,
le Conseil encourage toutes les personnes
concernées par l’organisation de l’apprentissage
des langues à fonder leur action sur les besoins,
les motivations, les caractéristiques et les
ressources de l’apprenant.
Ce qui suppose de répondre à des questions telles
que :
– Qu’est-ce que l’apprenant aura besoin de faire
avec la langue ?
– Qu’a-t-il besoin d’apprendre pour être capable d’utiliser la langue à ces fins ?
– Qu’est-ce qui le pousse à vouloir apprendre
?...]
J’ajouterai, pour le cas spécifique de l’Australie,
et face au pourcentage élevé d’abandon en année
9 (70% environ de l’effectif) la question suivante:
Qu’est-ce qui le pousse à ne plus vouloir
apprendre une langue étrangère?
[...– Qui est-il (âge, sexe, milieu social et niveau
d’instruction) ?
– Quels sont le savoir, le savoir-faire et
l’expérience de l’enseignant auquel il a à faire?
– Dans quelle mesure a-t-il accès à des manuels,
des ouvrages de référence (grammaires,
dictionnaires, etc.), des moyens audiovisuels et
informatiques (matériel et didacticiels) ?
– Combien de temps peut-il, désire-t-il ou est-il
capable de consacrer à l’apprentissage d’une
langue ?...]
Beaucoup d’entre vous nous ont envoyé des
cassettes vierges pour obtenir des extraits de
télévision française à utiliser en cours de FLE.
Malheureusement les émissions de TV5 ont été
interrompues pendant plusieurs semaines pour
faire place aux évènements en Irak. Il faudra
donc que vous patientiez un peu plus longtemps
avant de recevoir vos enregistrements.
Vous trouverez dans ce numéro un article
rédigé par Robyn Thew qui revient de France
après avoir enseigné pendant un an en France.
Si vous êtes professeur dans un collège/lycée
d’Etat et que vous aimeriez faire un échange
semblable en 2004, en France ou ailleurs,
renseignez-vous auprès de Tracey Davies ou
de Narelle Anderson (Tel: 4224 9085). Les
demandes pour 2005 pourront s’effectuer à
partir du deuxième semestre.
Nous aimerions encourager tous les
professeurs de français à adhérer à la NAFT.
Cette année l’association prévoit la création de
réseaux locaux à travers la Nouvelle Galles du
Sud et tous les membres recevront
prochainement un magnifique poster pour la
promotion du français. Le formulaire
d’inscription se trouve page 22.
Alors, bonne continuation et vive le français!
Bonne lecture et bonne réflexion.

Plan de Paris
L’activité qui suit est une partie du contenu de la formation “Hands on technologies” qui a eu
lieu à Ryde, le mercredi16 Avril 2003 ainsi qu’à Kambala mardi 6 Mai. L’objectif principal de
l’atelier était de réfléchir à des activités liant l’enseignement des Technologies de l’Information
et de la Communication et l’enseignement de la langue et de la culture française. Les treize
professeurs présents ont créé une présentation, le plan de Paris, à l’aide du logiciel PowerPoint.
Voici l’activité proposée étape par étape, si le coeur vous en dit:
Collecting images we are going to need from the Web: un plan de Paris, une Tour Eiffel, les
Champs Elysées.
1) Go to www.google.fr
2) Click on “images” and type the name of the image you are looking for ( i.e. Plan de
Paris)
3) Click on“ recherche Google”
4) Select an image which features famous Paris monuments. Save it in a folder as
follows:
⇒ For MacIntosh users: keep the cursor on the image and click on the mouse (keep
your finger down on the mouse). A dialog box will appear. Click on “Save Image”
and save it in a folder.
⇒ For Windows users: right click on the mouse.

“New Slide” in order to add to your existing presentation.
Stage 3
Linking slides
Let’s link SLIDE 1 (plan de Paris) to SLIDE 2 (Tour Eiffel)
Making “Action Buttons”. Action buttons are used to create “hot spots” that allow links to take
place.
1) Select SLIDE 1 (plan de Paris).
2) Click on “Slide Show”.
3) Click on “Action Button” and hold your finger on the mouse. A new dialog box will appear.

Internet.
N.B.: The following Web site www.diplomatie.fr/images2france/ provides you and your students with 200 copyright free photos on France.
We are also working on a “banque de photos sur la France et les pays francophones” showcasing
a vast collection of shots that you have kindly put at our disposal. These shots from your last
trip to France and French speaking countries will be displayed along with your name on the
Professional Support and Curriculum web site. Thank you Betty Hassen, Stewart Dougan, Paul
Brenac…
“Plan de Paris” is online on our Website under “idées de classe” and “PowerPoint activities”.
Don’t hesitate to contact Alain Lecouls if you need some more guidance for this hands on
activity.

POSTCARD FROM PONTARLIER
from Robyn THEW
(Cherrybrook Technology High School)
Last year, I
was fortunate
enough to
undertake an
overseas
t e a c h e r
exchange to
P o n t a r l i e r,
France.This exchange built on an existing sister
school relationship between Cherrybrook Technology
High School and Lycée Xavier Marmier. It was
unique because it was the only French-Australian
teacher exchange to take place during 2002. My
greatest challenge was obtaining the long-stay visa
(carte de séjour) to live and work in France for the
year. This could be only done in France. I was very
relieved, when I finally received it, at the end of my
first six months in France.
I taught English (with an Aussie accent of course) at
the Lycée Xavier Marmier in Pontarlier, a small town
of 20,000 inhabitants in the east of France, very close
to the Swiss border and the Jura mountains. Pontarlier
is a country town where old
and young alike still say
“bonjour” to strangers in the
street and some of the
buildings date from the
seventeenth century.
I arrived at my senior high
school of 1300 students, in the
middle of the French school
year with everything in full
swing. After being welcomed
back after the Christmas
holidays with the rest of the
staff, we sampled the usual
New Year pastry, “galette des rois” and an aperitif.
I had to adjust to those early mornings, walking to
school for an 8am start, in the snow and in
temperatures of minus 10 degrees. I did enjoy having
a long uninterrupted lunch in the school cafeteria.
There is no playground duty, because there are
surveillants who check attendance and supervise
students during recess and lunch. The long lunch
meant that sometimes I was teaching till 5 or 6
pm, but as I didn’t teach Wednesday or Saturday
mornings (like some other teachers) and only had
to be at school when I was actually teaching, this
wasn’t too bad!
There are obvious differences between the NSW
and the French system. The baccalauréat (HSC)
is mostly exam-based. The students don’t wear a
uniform, they are permitted to smoke in the
playground and they must study one year of
philosophy and two foreign languages for their
final exam.
My French school had many international
exchanges. I was lucky enough to meet the
Swedish, German, Hungarian and Czech groups.
I even gave an Australian presentation to some
of these groups and my imitation of a
kookaburra’s laugh certainly improved each time.
Many of the students and staff I talked to were
fascinated by the Australian landscape, flora and
fauna and the Aboriginal culture.
Even though I have been a LOTE teacher in the
DET for many years, I gained many new insights
into the French language and culture. The French
use the word “solidarité” a lot – this could mean
demonstrating on a small or large scale against
the government, helping out a neighbour, being a
member of an association or participating in a
national telethon. By the end of the year I found
that my French
listening skills had
vastly improved. I
realised this when I
could keep up with
most
dinner
conversations and
talk on the phone,
two of the most
difficult tasks to
master in a second
language.
Hardly any shops
are open on Sundays in the smaller towns, so
people relax with their families and friends or
enjoy the great outdoors. The region is famous
for its enthusiasm for sport especially in winter.
It was not uncommon to see people walking,
jogging, running and bike-riding. I did try crosscountry skiing and raquette where you walk on
the snow with something like tennis racquets

IMPRESSIONS
strapped to your feet... I did a lot of
falling down but had a lot of fun.
Nationally, they struggle with similar
issues to us: - unemployment, personal
and national security, road safety,
immigration and refugees.
Living in the wonderful region of
Franche-Comté, where the locals
appreciate the natural beauty around
them, I became more and more aware
of the changing seasons during the year.
They seemed much more distinctive
than in my hometown of Sydney.
I arrived in January 2002 when the local
lake (Lac Saint Point) was frozen (a fairly exceptional
occurrence)… I was able to walk out onto the lake
quite safely. You knew that spring had arrived when
the white of winter turned to green pastures with
yellow and mauve wild flowers and cows were seen
enjoying the outdoors (and jangling those bells) after
spending the winter indoors with the families. These
cows produce milk – which is very important to the
fabulous cheeses of the region: Mont d’Or, Comté,
Morbier, Cancoillotte. If you’re having trouble
imagining the scenery just picture Julie Andrews
strolling over the mountains singing the Sound of
Music. Pontarlier, like a lot of French towns, seems
to come alive in summer – the days are long
(sometimes the sun sets at 10.00 pm) and the
barbecues start. There are festivals, fireworks and
flowers displayed in every town.
I especially enjoyed
the national “Fête de
la Musique” where
musicians play in the
street and you move
around listening to the
different
artists,
groups, bands. Of
course the French
National Holiday on
the 14th July is
symbolic of the party atmosphere of the summer
holidays. After summer the weather turned cooler and
the autumn colours appeared, all too briefly... ahhhh.
Christmas was mild (no snow unfortunately) but I
was treated to foie gras, seafood, turkey, chestnut
stuffing and the traditional Christmas cake in the
shape of a log (bûche de Noël).
This region Franche-Comté, like
many other regions of France, has
a well deserved reputation for fine
cuisine. I could spend all my article
describing many of the fantastic and
mouth-watering meals I enjoyed but
suffice to say, that in addition to the
twice-weekly local market, my
friends and colleagues and local
cafés provided an abundance of fine
food to sample. I was also spoiled
by having a great pastry shop
opposite to where I lived... Much
too tempting on my way to and from
school!
During my holidays, I had many
wonderful opportunities to travel to other regions in
France and other countries in Europe. I continued to
use French and German in Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Poland, Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic
and Malta. While the trips provided much needed
relaxation they also enhanced my French and
European perspective on the world.
You may be wondering why I haven’t mentioned
Paris which is the most visited city in the world. I
have visited this amazing city many times and it has
never failed to impress me but I encourage you to
explore the rest of France beyond its capital. As my
friends and I discovered on our two week regional
trip through France there are other unforgettable
places such as the Riviera, Provence, the Rhône Alps,
the Dordogne and the Loire to enjoy.
I will always remember with great
affection the staff at Lycée Xavier
Marmier. Their friendship, good
humour and professionalism
provided me with an amazing year.
I have now returned home and am
back teaching at Cherrybrook THS.
I have benefitted immensely from
my year overseas and look forward
to passing these benefits onto my
students.

HSC marking notes
The 2002 marking notes from the Examination Centre are now available from the Office of the
Board of Studies web site: www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au. The content includes mapping
grids and marking guidelines for all courses.
Beginners
Although the questions in the Writing Skills section were phrased in French only in 2001, they
appeared in both French and English in 2002. This took place in response to requests from
teachers. As there is no specification in the syllabus regarding this matter teachers can only
assume that it may vary from year to year. For further advice regarding this matter, call Howard
Jacobs on 9367 8039 or email [email protected]
A Beginners’ course workshop will be taking place in Ryde on Saturday 31 May. Teachers who
are not very familiar with the course or who would like to revise their teaching and learning
strategies for the productive skills are encouraged to attend. See the registration form on page
6 in this bulletin.
Continuers
The term 1 workshop for teachers of the Continuers’ course was well attended and guest speakers
Noel Thomsen and Ritta Serret provided some useful information on successful strategies for

by creating Writing Skills questions which are published on the next page.
Many teachers have chosen the new edition of Au Point as one of their principal resources in
the programming of the Continuers course. However, some weaker students have found this
textbook very challenging. Fortunately Hodder & Stoughton have released a similar but slightly
easier text which seems to provide an answer to this problem. It is called Tout Terrain and is
available from Nelson. Ph: 1800 654 831 or e-mail: [email protected]
The following list is a series of conversation starters that teachers may find useful for those odd
moments when students may run out of things to say about their personal world in French. We
welcome any ideas you may have for publication in this regard.

Extension
The Prescribed texts for the Extension course will remain the same in 2004 but may change in
2005. How do you find studying the prescribed issues by using film as a medium? Would you
prefer short stories, songs, novels or other media? Think about it and let NAFT and/or the Board
of Studies know your preferences early:

social et celle de la tolérance dans votre réponse.
2. Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 aux Etats-Unis ont confirmé que la paix sur terre est
un rêve impossible. Êtes-vous d’accord?
