Part of:
French Language Conversation Classes
Course description
This course is an introduction to the French language for complete beginners.
Learning objectives
Students in this level will become familiar with the sounds of the French language, develop confidence in pronouncing them, and acquire basic "survival" skills in French, such as:
- greetings and thanks
- forms of address
- basic vocabulary and structures to tell the time, give an address and a telephone number, spell their name
- ask and answer simple yes/no questions about familiar topics (family, work)
Prerequisites
This course has no prerequisite and is intended for those who have never studied French before.
Additional Information
Unlike other levels in French Language Conversation Classes, this course is normally taken only once, to acquire very basic elements of the language before entering the Beginner level.
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)
