Academic Goals

French II will provide techniques to perfect French grammar and conversation skills.  The ten week course will focus on perfecting the use of French grammar including articles and will introduce past tenses, future tense and additional tenses.  The classroom exercises will combine dialogue and reading, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and writing assignments. Handouts and classroom exercises will facilitate fast progress.

French II students will have the opportunity to state their priorities for learning French and focus on the scenarios and vocabulary that are the most useful for their application of the French language.  The material covered in class will be substantial.  Students should expect to spend several hours a week reviewing classroom materials and completing homework assignments.  Each class will begin with a review of the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one.  The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress. We will have a Final on the last class.

Students will learn techniques to apply in real-life professional scenarios and will expand their vocabulary to include important business French terms.  By the end of the semester, you can expect to have intermediate reading, writing, and speaking skills.

There will be a $25 late fee for course registration after classes begin.
