French I

World Languages

This is a first-year, French course, offered by Gravitas faculty, which introduces foundational grammar and thematic vocabulary while encouraging students to express themselves immediately in the target language. There is a balanced approach to all components of language acquisition: listening and reading comprehension, writing skills and speaking. Students learn to conjugate in the present tense and express themselves with correct subject and direct object pronouns. Additional focus on the varied cultural aspects of the French speaking world is stressed through readings, online activities and collaborative group projects. During class meetings and while working with classmates, students are encouraged to communicate exclusively in French.
