The survey will close on January 26th 2015
We will submit your priorities to BOSTES in early 2015. We cannot guarantee that any of these choices will be accepted but can only hope that BOSTES will consider any and all these suggestions as representative of the considered input of the French teachers of NSW.
We have had a few other suggestions, such as Le Petit Prince and the poetry of Prévert. They are wonderful texts with excellent themes, however, it was judged very difficult to be able to set a PART B question based on these texts.
If you have other suggestions that you would like BOSTES to consider, please don’t hesitate to send your ideas directly to Howard Jacobs, Inspector of Languages at BOSTES. howard.jacobs@bostes.nsw.edu.au
