Demonstrate understanding of a variety of spoken French texts on familiar matters
You need to listen to French audio passages about everyday topics and show you understand what's being said. You'll listen to conversations, interviews, or podcast-style content in French and then answer questions about them in English, Te Reo Māori, or French—whatever works best for you. The key is proving you actually understood the meaning, not just picking out individual words.
You understand the main points of the passages and can pick out important information, recognizing key ideas with some supporting detail from what you heard.
You show good understanding by identifying the main ideas along with important supporting details, explain your answers clearly, and connect different parts of the passage together logically.
You provide thorough, precise responses with plenty of relevant supporting detail; you infer implied meanings and understand subtleties in the audio; your answers are well-organized, logical, and show depth of understanding across all questions.
