Subject Area/Course Credit: World Language, 1 credit

French A2 is a continuation of introductory French in which language skills are brought to a level enabling students to participate more fully in general conversation, to read more sophisticated passages, and to write with a firmer command of syntactic structures. Upon completion of this course, students will have expanded their vocabulary and be familiar with the following grammar principles: present tense, past tenses (imparfait and passé composé), imperative, future tense, reflexive verbs, pronouns (subject and object), prepositions and conjunctions. Students are expected to use French as the language of communication in the classroom. At the end of the course students are prepared to sit an external examination to receive the European Language certificate, the TELC (The European Language Certificates), corresponding to their current level, if they so choose.
