Student Learning Outcomes, Online French Group Classes
Text used: Français Interactif and Liberté
Prerequisite: None
Designed for students with some prior knowledge of the language, this course builds on previous topics and broadens the communication skills taught in Beginner I. While the emphasis of the course is on developing speaking proficiency, it continues to introduce basic grammar concepts (regular verbs, simple past) and teaches beginning reading skills. Upon completion of the course students will be able to participate in simple conversations while traveling, at work or during leisure time. Students will also be able to understand basic information intended for tourists.

Prerequisite: Beginner II
Designed for students with a basic knowledge of the language, this course focuses on the development of fluency. Students will expand their ability to carry out simple conversations on a limited range of topics. Previous grammar concepts are reviewed, and more complicated structures (including subjunctive & conditional) are introduced in context. Upon completion of the course students will be able to initiate and maintain predictable conversations and understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters.

Prerequisite: Intermediate I
The Contemporary Topics course is designed for students who speak French at a High Intermediate to Mid Advanced level. Classes focus on improving fluency and conversational skills, expanding vocabulary on advanced topics, refining pronunciation, and fine-tuning grammar. Students will read authentic media and participate in discussions on topics related to current events and Francophone cultures. Contemporary Topics courses are ideal language maintenance and can be taken multiple times as topics will change each session.

"Madame Rezig is wonderful!! She is very competent. And I genuinely look forward to her class....Ms. Rezig is very engaging and simply a delight to look at on screen. I am motivated to prepare for her class because she arrives so prepared and ready to go."
Beginner I Student"Enrolling in this course has been not only a life-affirming learning experience, but also a transformational one in several respects. Monsieur Tanguy has truly been a pleasure to work with, especially given his approachability, patience, exacting attention to detail, and rapport with his students. I loved having him as my French instructor and would really relish the opportunity to continue learning from him and developing my French language skills and cultural competency into future sessions."
Beginner II Student"Professor Rokaya is warm and incredibly nurturing to her students. She inspired me to embrace French films, music, and podcasts outside of class to enhance my learning. I’m even traveling to Paris this summer and hope to return to her course in the fall."
