A few challenges, but no surprises for Junior Cert students
Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (Asti) spokeswoman on French, Eimear Holly, said higher-level students were given comprehension pieces appropriate to their overall ability. The written section might have proved challenging for some, she said.
A Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) spokesperson thought questions were challenging in places, such as one about a flu epidemic affecting a boarding school. But he felt the written section gave candidates a chance to show off their French as, although there were some challenges in the letter, the postcard and note were similar to what came up in previous years.
