Localisation and Movement
This topic enables learners to describe position, state location, give directions, and indicate distance in French. Students will use prepositions of place, locate places on maps (including Zambian provinces), and give clear directions. Activities involve map reading, role-play, and discussion. This functional language skill is crucial for navigation and description, aligning with the CBC's emphasis on practical, real-world language use. Mastery aids in comprehension tasks and prepares learners for potential ECZ exam questions on understanding and giving spatial information.

My School
This topic familiarises learners with French language used in the school context, including classroom orders, school subjects, timetables, and classroom objects. Students will learn to understand and use commands, identify subjects, draw up a timetable, and describe common objects. Activities involve listening, dramatisation, and writing. This directly relevant context supports immersion and daily use of French, a key goal of the competence-based curriculum. It prepares learners for understanding instructions and describing their environment, skills applicable across ECZ exam papers.

Daily Activities
This topic equips learners to tell time and narrate their daily routines and activities in French. Students will learn to ask for and state the time, and describe habitual actions using appropriate tenses. Activities focus on practical application through conversation, reading, and writing. Mastering the language of time and routine is a fundamental communicative competence, allowing learners to structure narratives and share information about their lives. This is essential for the Zambian CBC's focus on personal expression and is regularly tested in ECZ writing and oral assessments.

The Past
This topic introduces learners to describing past actions and events in French, primarily using the past tense (passé composé). Students will learn to talk about what happened yesterday, last week, or in a narrative context. Activities include listening to stories, answering questions about past events, and writing about personal experiences. Grasping past tense narration is a key grammatical and communicative milestone in the CBC, enabling learners to share stories and understand historical or personal accounts. This skill is vital for essay writing and comprehension in ECZ examinations.
