PREFACE
First published in 2002, the revision of Entre Jeunes for Class IX was long overdue. The
primary objectives of the revision exercise were to encourage the students to reflect on what
it means to comprehend language, how to use language in different contexts and to
incorporate meaningful experiences for learning French based on the daily lives of students
to provide an input-rich environment in the Indian context. The revised textbook, therefore,
contains a variety of material and exercises to suit the individual learning style of different
students especially in terms of oral as well as written skills. The present textbook also aims
to empower the teacher in organizing classroom experiences in consonance with the child's
nature and environment, and thus provides opportunities for all children to be proactive learners.
Beginning with the “table of contents” (table of contents), the revised book has emphasized
on a greater autonomy of the learners so that they are capable of interacting in real life
situations. The table of contents indicates learning objectives of each lesson. It is divided
into 4 components: theme, communication, grammatical notions and socio-cultural aspects.
All these aspects are further strengthened through the four basic skills of language learning
ie listening, speaking, reading and writing.
The book contains four units and each of the units further contains three lessons all of which
are based on a particular theme. Each lesson follows a particular pedagogical pattern as it
begins with a dialogue or a text followed by the oral and written exercises which are
indicated as A TOI (for you to do). The grammatical elements have been interwoven
throughout the lessons and marked in the blue boxes. Based on the feedback from the
teachers, the committee merged the workbook with the textbook and therefore each lesson
has an increased number of exercises at the end and each unit has a large number of
exercises (bilan) which will enable the learners to test their skills .
For the socio-cultural inputs, the committee placed in each lesson references to objects and
socio-cultural elements from France or Francophone countries. A number of references to
India have also been incorporated. At the end of each unit, a page has been earmarked for
self-assessment. For a greater autonomy of the students, this edition provides an opportunity
to the students to self-assess their knowledge and performance in a progressive manner.
The committee also attempted to provide problem-solving environment in the classroom to
engage children in finding the quickest or easiest way to learn French.
In order to cater to the need of students and teachers in the backdrop of Summative and
Formative assessments, this edition contains an increased number of exercises and
activities to choose from. The language skills developed can be assessed through summative
135
PREFACE
assessments at the end of 1st term (Lessons 1-6, first 2 units) and 2nd term level (Lesson
7-12, last 2 units). Each set of exercises can be answered through a pen-paper test or through
an oral interaction. Based on the model of given exercises and activities, there is ample scope
for the teacher to improvise and innovate as per their local needs. The self-assessment and
activities suggested in each lesson and unit will also help in the formative assessment of the student.
Many of these activities will help to strengthen the leadership and participatory qualities of the
students, thus, underscoring the development of formative skills.
The Board wishes to express its gratitude to Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Director (Academics,
Research, Trainings and Innovation) and Mr. Al Hilal Ahmed, Joint Director, CBSE for rendering
the much needed guidance throughout this project. The Board would like to place on record its
special appreciation to all the members of the revision team for their hard work, perseverance
and valuable contribution. The Board would also like to thank the experts from the French
Embassy for their valuable contribution. It is due to the excellent teamwork at all levels that the
Board is in a position to introduce the revised French Book in the CBSE affiliated schools in
time.
We hope that the revision of this book in light of critical insights will help the students to
understand the subtleties of the French language as they relate to daily life and they will feel
more confident and motivated for learning French as a foreign language. Suggestions for
improvements will be appreciated.
