DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students who have had at least the equivalent of one semester of college-level French. The primary aim of the course is for students to continue refining their proficiency in French language competency through communicative, collaborative and cultural activities. The varied class activities and exercises focus on the following four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
This class requires daily preparation as well as a high level of engagement on the student's part during class meetings. Most in-class time, driven by the structure of the textbook and accompanying activities, is devoted to speaking and practicing French through a combination of group-based and individual activities, focusing on grammatical structures, language functions and vocabulary. Lessons also focus on a wide range of contemporary cultural themes using varied materials such as advertising material and short film clips.
Onsite activities such as field studies to markets and points of interest within the city, and regular interviews and conversations with members of the local community, give students a unique chance to rapidly implement their linguistic development. By the end of the course, students are expected to have mastered basic grammar and lexical structures, so that they are able to conduct a simple conversation and to write short and basic texts with some degree of competency.
