FRENCH II COURSE DESCRIPTION

The students continue to develop their skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  New grammatical structures are learned as well as idiomatic expressions used in daily conversation.  CD's, songs, and films are used to develop correct pronunciation, to stimulate discussion, and to increase the student's knowledge of and appreciation for the cultures in the francophone world.  A report on a fracophone African country is a major project in the course.  Throughout the year the students read articles from a magazine in French written for young people and during the spring semester there is a reading project.  The students strive to speak only French in the classroom.
