Students further deepen their understanding of French by
focusing on the three modes of communication:
interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. Each unit
consists of a variety of activities which teach the students
how to understand more difficult written and spoken
passages, to communicate with others through informal
speaking and writing interactions, and to express their
thoughts and opinions in both formal and informal spoken
and written contexts.
Students should expect to be actively engaged in their own
language learning, use correct vocabulary terms and phrases
naturally, incorporate a wide range of grammar concepts
consistently and correctly while speaking and writing,
participate in conversations covering a wide range of topics,
respond appropriately to conversational prompts, analyze
and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives
of various French speaking countries, read and analyze
important pieces of literature, and take frequent
assessments where their language progression can be
monitored. The course is conducted almost entirely in
French. The course has been carefully aligned to national
standards as set forth by ACTFL (the American Council on the
Teaching of Foreign Languages).

develop everyday conversation skills. Each lesson is
