In March 2011, many of our French students participated in a National French Contest. This "Grand Concours" test is developed annually by the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) as a motivational, extracurricular activity/contest for students of French. The exam covered listening comprehension, vocabulary and grammar in context, as well as readings; all equivalent to that of a 1st year, 2nd year, or 3rd year French curriculum. Our students did an excellent job! Please see the attached document to see where these students ranked at a chapter level (Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia), as well as a National Level. Please congratulate any of these students that you have in your classes. They all ranked very high (we have strong chapter)! Merci!
