Course Overview
A multi-media, game-based approach
makes this introductory French course different from traditional
approaches to language learning. Advanced teaching techniques
are used to turn compelling adventures and activities into
rigorous lessons in grammar and vocabulary. This course provides
a solid foundation for reading, speaking, writing, and understanding
French and cultivates a passion for the language through exposure
to culture and dynamic experiences of real people and real
places. This course also features adaptive learning technology
that lets students select the learning style that’s
right for them.
Take this course and polish your foreign language skills during summer when you have more time. Take it for enrichment or for course credit. You get half credit for a semester course (4 weeks) and
full credit for full year course (8 weeks).
What You Will Learn
- Phrases
- Greetings, introductions, relationships, cause and
effect, how to express likes and dislikes and how to
ask questions.
- Vocabulary
- Adjectives, animals, body parts, family words, colors,
shapes, food, numbers 1-900 and household vocabulary.
- Grammar
- Noun/adjective agreement with gender, direct and indirect
articles, transitive and intransitive verbs, pronouns,
verb infinitives and base forms and aspects of tensing.
- Culture
