Question
What is a vrai/faux + justifier question?
Answer
A statement you mark vrai (V) or faux (F) AND justify with words from the recording — « les deux parties sont requises ».
Question
In V/F + justify, what do you score for a correct V/F with no justification?
Answer
Nothing — V/F alone earns no marks; the justification is required.
Question
What does « justifier » mean in this question type?
Answer
To justify — to prove your vrai/faux choice with the relevant words from the recording.
Question
What does « par des mots du texte » mean?
Answer
With words from the text/recording — your justification must use the recording's own words, in French.
Question
Qu'est-ce que « la justification » ?
Answer
The justification — the exact proving words you quote from the recording to support your V/F.
Question
Que signifient « vrai » et « faux » ?
Answer
True and false.
Question
What does the IB rubric « les deux parties de la réponse sont requises » mean?
Answer
Both parts — the vrai/faux AND the justification — are required; one without the other scores nothing.
Question
What is the 'relevant detail' in a justification?
Answer
The exact part of the recording that proves your V/F — not the whole sentence and not an unrelated line.
Question
How many parts must be correct to score a V/F + justify mark?
Answer
Both — the V/F AND the justification.
Question
What is the five-step method for V/F + justify?
Answer
Read the statement → Locate the part it refers to → Decide V or F → Find the exact justifying words → Write BOTH the V/F and the justification.
Question
Why is a bare V/F worth nothing?
Answer
The question awards the mark for the V/F PLUS the justifying words; without the justification the answer is incomplete.
Question
Why quote the relevant words rather than the whole sentence?
Answer
Copying the whole sentence buries the proof; the mark needs the exact words that decide V or F.
Question
Why watch verb tenses in V/F + justify?
Answer
A past-tense detail (« avant… ») can be true once but false now — the tense can flip whether the statement is V or F.
Question
Why is an irrelevant justification not enough?
Answer
It doesn't prove your V/F; only the relevant detail that actually supports the answer earns the justification mark.
