French - First Year II or III

This course combines the second and third quarter of a continuing, year-long sequence in French language and cultural study that supports French language acquisition through interactive exercises and emphasizes communicative activities that elicit authentic expression in French. Classes use immersion learning and students are surrounded by French from the start. Class work encompasses all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students will develop accurate pronunciation, build a useful vocabulary, work regularly in small groups and learn conversational skills. Classes are lively and fast-paced with a wide variety of creative, fun activities including music, videos and film.
