ضمن برنامج بكالوريا Lettres
English is a major subject in the Bac Lettres stream, with a coefficient of 4 — second only to Arabic Language (coefficient 7) and ahead of History-Geography and Philosophy (coefficient 3). There is no Mathematics in the stream. The high coefficient raises the bar: richer vocabulary, more developed argumentative writing, and firmer control of register and style are expected, and the English mark genuinely shapes the average.
في الامتحان
Three parts: Reading Comprehension, Language, and Writing. In the Lettres stream the Writing task is longer and more demanding — a structured essay with a clear thesis, developed arguments on both sides, illustrative examples and a personal conclusion — and language accuracy and range are scored throughout.
أهداف التعلم
- Produce this function at the right register in a dialogue-completion task on the Bac Lettres English paper (coefficient 4)
- Use polite phrases to signal you do not understand (I'm sorry, I don't follow / I'm not quite sure I understand)
- Ask for a repetition or a clarification (Could you repeat that, please? / What do you mean by…?)
- Ask for a simpler rephrasing (Could you put it differently? / In other words…?)
- Match the register to the situation (formal with a teacher, informal with friends)

Signalling that you do not understand
Asking for a repetition or clarification
Asking for a rephrasing
الأخطاء الشائعة
Using only “What?” in a formal written dialogue: it is too casual for most tested contexts (student–teacher, an interview).
Confusing repeat (say the same thing again) and rephrase (say the same thing in other, simpler words) — the exam often distinguishes the two.
Dropping the politeness marker (I'm sorry, I'm afraid) in a formal register before signalling a lack of understanding.

الأسئلة الشائعة
Is this chapter really useful, when the Bac is a written exam?
These phrases are mainly for the written dialogue-completion tasks, but they also stay useful in real life (lessons, oral exams in other subjects, talking with English speakers) — one of the few chapters that transfers directly beyond the exam.
Which phrase is safest for all registers?
“I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Could you explain that again?” works in almost every tested context, formal and semi-formal — polite without being over-formal.
Can I use “Pardon?” as in French?
Yes, but “Pardon?” (or “Sorry?”) in English is used on its own to signal you did not hear, a more informal register — for a fuller dialogue in the exam, a complete phrase (I'm sorry, could you repeat that?) is better.
English is coefficient 4 in the Lettres stream — how do I revise it seriously?
Treat it as a core subject. For each of the 31 chapters, fix the rule or the word field with two solid examples, and write at least one full essay a fortnight under timed conditions. Read short English articles to build argumentative vocabulary and sentence variety, since range and accuracy are marked directly.
Why learn a spoken function for a written Bac Lettres exam?
Because it is tested in writing: dialogue-completion tasks ask for exactly these phrases at the right level of politeness. Keeping two or three set expressions per function, sorted by register, covers the task reliably.
