If a student must repeat a course, no additional credit is awarded, yet the better grade is recorded on the high school transcript. Many of our students take two and even three languages. We encourage and applaud this. This course covers the basic elementary structures of the language and beginning training in oral-aural skills, reading and writing. Use of the language is stressed.
French culture is introduced.
Students are encouraged to use their skills and knowledge in skits, dialogues and simulated cultural situations. This course follows French I. Language, culture and authentic visuals are presented to allow students to continue to build skills gradually and steadily. Although listening and speaking skills continue to be stressed, short readings are used at this level to increase control of the vocabulary and the structures already learned. Each unit contains several aspects of French culture. Listening comprehension, speaking, grammar and cultural readings are stressed.
