French 1

Description:

In this course, students are given a lively introduction to the French language and its rich culture. They join native speakers in their everyday environment as they are taken through different daily scenarios in order to gain the necessary skills to read, write and speak French. Students will be able to engage in conversation in French, including greeting people, introducing themselves, and exchanging basic information with others. Students will be able to count from 1 to 1000, and make simple sentences in both spoken and written French. New words and phrases will be introduced with pictures, audio clips, and examples. Students will learn basic French grammar to help them build their fluency and understand the structure of the French language. There will be many opportunities to use what they learn through interactive practice activities, written practice, listening, and speaking exercises. Students will also explore the cultures of France, Canada, and other French-speaking countries by learning about geography, foods, celebrations, and traditions from each place.
