French   

This course is designed for students who possess a broadened knowledge of French and can converse using a wider range of vocabulary, pronouns and verb tenses. The focus of this course is on interpersonal communication, while continuing to reinforce and build on the four fundamental skills: oral expression, oral comprehension, as well as reading and writing. Students learn, through a variety of engaging and interactive activities, principles to sharpen their communication skills, particularly in the use of past, future, and conditional tenses. Emphasis is on expressing temporality with more accuracy as well as demonstrating increasing conversational skills such as creating narratives and participating in role plays. Pre-requisite: LANG401K. Textbook required.

The objective of this course is mastery of rudimentary language skills. With the use of simple structures and vocabulary, learners describe personal attributes, formulate simple questions and responses and conjugate in the present tense. Emphasis is given to speech as well as written forms. Students use technology for oral communication practice and evaluation. Short texts bring to light family life and French culture, relating to customs, activities and celebrations in Canada and around the world. No Textbook Required. 
Software Required: A headset or microphone and speakers is required for the oral parts of course. Students will submit recordings using software such as Jing software, You Tube or Windows Media Player.

The student will sustain development of language skills by extending vocabulary with regard to all activities after work such as weekend chores, leisure, sports including holidaying abroad.  The grammatical structures at this level continue to be simple.  Through systematic exercises the student becomes more confident and moves on from level 1 present tense and near future to the past tense. The student at the end of this level will be able to share more extensively life at home as well as describe a real or imagined past holiday in a French speaking country.

Prerequisite: French 1. No textbook required. 

NOTE: A headset or microphone and speakers is required for the oral parts of course. Students will submit recordings using software such as Jing software, You tube or Windows Media Player. Audio clips are provided in .wma format which is Windows compatible. MAC users will need to convert the files to an appropriate format.

The progressive acquisition, reinforcement, and creative use of language structures will give the student confidence to self-expression. By analyzing, comparing and applying the French past tenses, the student will have the basic tools to story telling. At this level, the student will be encouraged to express simple and complex sentence structures. Anecdotes by authors from French speaking Canada will serve as models for the final task. Prerequisite: French 2. No textbook required.

In addition to a more rigorous approach to vocabulary and grammatical structures with every class the student will continue to develop everyday situations practiced at earlier levels. Grammatical sentence structures are more complex at this level with the expansion of the past, present, future and conditional verb tenses.  Articles from French speaking Canada serve as language models and provide a cultural perspective on current issues.  Towards the end of the course language skills include the ability to convey necessity, obligation, probability, and or expectation with regards to past experiences, work and education and the future. Prerequisite: French 3 No Textbook Required.
