Speaking, reading, and writing skills are subordinate to that. Basic grammar is studied in the context of the stories and other materials used. French culture and customs are an integral part of the class. The acquisition of vocabulary is still stressed. Short stories and a novel are read in class.
Instruction is in French.
Students should be responding in simple French. This course is introductory. The TPR method, along with oral and written exercises, are used to gradually attain skills in speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Vocabulary-building skills and the present tense of the verb, along with other grammar points, are stressed. Study of the culture, customs, history, music, literature, and art will be apart of this course.
