Français 1
French class is structured to help students gain the basic skills of the French language. Students will develop skills in: listening, reading, writing, speaking and cultural awareness. The focus will be communication. Participation is crucial. Students are expected to participate actively in class. We will explore this useful and beautiful language through presentations, videos, readings, activities, games, etc.
Although French can be a fun class, it is also an academic class and will require effort. Students are expected to spend at least 10-15 minutes a day at home finishing class work or studying notes and vocabulary. Daily participation in class will help students learn much faster and better.
