More detailed attention is given to the history of French. This course is like the traditional French 3 course in that it extends listening and speaking vocabularies. In addition, the student will spend more time reading and discussing prose and verse. There will also be more extensive work on the composition and writing activities. Cultural studies focus on contemporary French literature.
Stress is placed on limited, fundamental language patterns based on familiar everyday situations.
Pupils master the language patterns, the correct pronunciation, the characteristic intonation of German. A comparative analysis of grammar terminology and meaning is made between English and German. Cultural enrichment materials help pupils develop understanding and appreciation of German civilization. This course continues to emphasize skills needed to understand and speak German. Reading and writing take on a greater importance as pupils gain familiarity and confidence with the spoken language.
