Advanced French Part 1
Course Description:
Advanced French Part 1 is designed for the student who already possesses comprehensive knowledge of the French language, as the course’s instruction is entirely in French. Students must have successfully completed all French courses up to and including French III Part 2, be generally conversant about Francophone cultures, and be able to apply the language in a variety of contexts and tenses. In Advanced French Part 1, students will explore issues within a Francophone framework including the use of information and communication technologies, the political dimension of language, the diversity of French-speaking cultures, global issues, and science and medicine, among others. Students will engage in the topics of the course through authentic written and audiovisual texts and will be expected to reflect on, analyze, and discuss the topics through written and speaking activities. Reviews of grammatical concepts, as well as vocabulary enrichment, are built into each lesson as they pertain to the units’ topics and the tasks students are expected to accomplish. This course includes auditory comprehension assessments that require students to listen to audio files and to record themselves speaking. For this course, it is essential that students have either a headset equipped with a microphone or access to an internal microphone within their computers.
