Alliance Francaise//VCAA oral exam discussion

(1/6) > >>

Vermilliona:
Hello to the like four people on the French board! Wondering if anyone did the Alliance Francaise writing/oral competition, as results came out today... I'm fairly happy with how I went, even though I freaked out in the oral a bit and definitely could have done better (well at least I hope I can do better for my study score's sake). What about you guys?

Ya Habibi:
Yes! I did do it :)
I scored an excellent for my oral (19-19.5/20) so I just missed the finals.
Not too sure about my written section though!

Good luck!

bonjour:
Pour la première fois durant mon temps au lycée j'ai reçu un "excellent" pour cette competition, mais ce n'était pas assez bon >.<
J'ai récité le poème "rappelle-toi Barbara"

howlingwisdom:
I made the finals (I was really surprised because I stumbled during my general convo, messed up the recitiation of my poem and the examiner seemed completely emotionless and almost bored while I was speaking). I didn't end up placing though haha. But honestly, I think that the competition is somewhat biased and not an accurate indication of your French level because the examiners are not actually teachers, but natives and I don't think they were marking according to the VCE scheme? Nonetheless, I think it's excellent practice for the oral exam and it's given me some exposure with communicating with natives.

Vermilliona:
Yeah, agreed that it's not really like the VCE, it's annoying that you get no feedback on the oral. I ended up doing the written final but wrote a piece that was way too long/probably full of mistakes/about cannibalism, so no place for me  :P C'est la vie.

Since we're all here anyway, when are everyone's actual orals? Mine is on October 8th and I'm just sitting on atarnotes and procrastinating. Have to keep reminding myself that it's worth as much as some of our SACs were, so it's not even that big a deal. Right? (right).

What's everyone doing to prepare/what's your detailed study/where is yours/should we be doing this in French.

(come procrastinate with me on here please)
