French 2

This course is a continuation of French 1, with the goal of helping students improve their skills in French. Students will increase their command of the language through listening, speaking, reading and writing activities based on pedagogically proven methods of foreign language instruction. The course is aligned to the national Foreign Language standards.

In the first semester, topics include clothing and accessories, chores, houses and furnishings, places in a city, transportation, and travel. In the second semester, topics include describing others, after-school activities, parties and celebrations, foods, cooking & grocery shopping, school places & events and computers.

Through the wide ranging topics, students learn to express themselves using an ever-increasing vocabulary, present and past tense verbs, articles, adjectives, and increasingly complex grammatical structures. Grammar is introduced and practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind.

Culture is sprinkled throughout the course to help the learner focus on the culture, people, geographical locations and histories of the French-speaking world.
