Give your Year 12 students the texts, language and practice they need to write and speak with confidence about migrant experiences.
Expériences migratoires is a complete reading, writing and oral workbook for the Unit 4 topic Migrant experiences. It follows journeys in two directions, from French-speaking countries to France (Senegal, Morocco, Algeria) and from France to the French-speaking world (Québec, Côte d'Ivoire), through the stories of people who left, arrived, struggled and found their place, and gives them the facts and structures to discuss the topic thoughtfully in the examination.
Student Workbook (45 pages)
Repères: a cultural and historical briefing with a timeline of immigration in France, migration between France and the French-speaking world (workers from the Maghreb, students from francophone Africa, French people settling in Québec, Switzerland, Belgium and Africa), key concepts explained (immigré and étranger, integration and assimilation, émigré and expatrié, laïcité) and six portraits, from Louis Hémon and Léopold Sédar Senghor to Leïla Slimani and Gaël Faye
Six reading texts: five texts on journeys between France and the French-speaking world (a magazine article on young French people who settle in Québec, a newspaper interview on the Moroccan miners of northern France, a French engineer's testimony from Abidjan, and two blog posts: a Senegalese student's first winter in Lyon and growing up between two cultures in Marseille) and readers' letters on the debate in France, presenting both sides
ATAR-style comprehension: questions in English, in text order, with mark allocations (163 marks in total), plus vocabulary in context, language analysis and a short personal response for every text
A bilingual sentence bank organised by function: explaining reasons, telling the story, describing challenges, identity, giving and qualifying an opinion, hypothesising, proposing solutions and structuring an argument
Grammar in context: the subjunctive and si clauses, error correction and translation
Fifteen conversation questions for the practical examination, with a three-step method for developing answers
Writing tasks: two Part A stimulus responses and three Part B extended responses, with a planning frame and checklist
Answer Key & Marking Guide (16 pages, teacher only): every answer with mark allocations, teaching notes and a suggested sequence, guidance for each conversation question, a practice marking guide and task-specific points for each writing task
Annotated Model Answers (10 pages): nine model conversation answers and five model written responses (e-mail, magazine portrait, article, letter to a newspaper, short story), each annotated to show what makes it work
Year 12 French: Second Language ATAR students and their teachers. Aligned to the current ATAR course (learning context: The French-speaking communities). Use it in class, for homework, for revision or as the core of your Migrant experiences unit.
This workbook complements our Le monde qui nous entoure | Year 12 French ATAR Unit 4 | Vocabulary & Exam Practice Pack. The vocabulary lists are in that pack; this workbook puts them to work in new texts and tasks, with no repeated content.
The texts present a range of experiences and points of view with respect and balance, and the teacher notes include guidance for discussing migration in a class where some students may have personal experience of it.
You receive editable Word files and print-ready PDFs (A4) in one download. All texts are original and written for this resource. This is an Érudits resource, not official SCSA material.
