Switzerland Zurich 5th Grade Curriculum - French

French language instruction begins in the 5th grade in Zurich public schools, under the Lehrplan 21 framework. While the specific details of the 5th-grade curriculum are not readily available online, the "dis donc!" teaching materials are commonly used and aligned with Lehrplan 21. These materials focus on developing basic language skills and building upon them through increasingly complex tasks. Students work on learning tasks ("tâches") based on real-world experiences, using activities ("activités") to develop content, language, and strategic skills. Communication is a key component of the learning process.
