It is a comprehensive program which offers not only linguistic and cultural enrichment, but also prepares students for professions requiring a second language. Most importantly, this program provides students with greater appreciation of the world outside their immediate domain, thus making them more enlightened citizens. Please direct all questions regarding the Foreign Language program to Mrs. Kelly or Mrs. Minns. Students will study present-tense verbs, common irregular verbs, adjectives and pronouns, as well as other grammar structures. Students will work independently and with partners and small groups to encourage communication in French.
Videos supplement cultural aspects brought out in the textbook.
Students will complete a project on a cultural theme. The grammar focuses on more verbs in the present, past and imperfect tenses. Students will study other countries where French is spoken. Skits are often performed in front of the video camera on such topics as ordering in a restaurant. The year begins with a quick grammar review.
