French Language Conversation Classes
Course description
This course is intended for intermediate students in French. It allows them to practice their oral skills at a level with which they are comfortable and to gain more fluency and more confidence in using the language in a broad variety of familiar situations.
Learning objectives
Students in this level will learn and practice language skills needed in simple everyday situations such as:
- speaking about future plans
- telling a simple story in the past
- speaking about likes and dislikes, preferences
- making comparisons
- asking and answering increasingly complex questions
- speaking about your health
- giving detailed descriptions of people, objects, situations and events, in the present and past tenses
Prerequisites
You can register for this level if you already know how to do the following things in French:
- speak on the telephone
- ask for and give directions
- make reservations
- give a definition
- clarify a statement
- tell whether a sentence is in a past, present or future tense
Additional Information
This level can be taken as many times as desired, as topics covered will change from one session to the next. It is not intended to take students directly to the Advanced level.
Students who wish to study in a program where they can move steadily from one level to the next—and where emphasis is also put on the written language—are encouraged to take courses in the Comprehensive French series instead.
Online Learning
Our online hybrid language courses make language learning flexible and convenient. The use of both synchronous and asynchronous delivery styles allows for both real-time virtual classroom conversation practice (synchronous delivery) and self-paced study (asynchronous delivery). The synchronous delivery style will occur during the scheduled class dates and time, using Zoom for videoconferencing, chat and screen sharing for class instruction and pair/group work. The asynchronous delivery style uses Brightspace, an online environment where learners can access class materials and resources for self-paced study throughout the week. Educational activities can include exercises, readings, forums, audio/video files, quizzes, etc.
Dates
French Language courses are offered three times per year:
- September (registration opens in June)
- January (registration opens in November)
- April (registration opens in November)
