French 101:
Beginner students acquire a basic command of
French for a variety of everyday situations. By
the end of the class, students will know how to
introduce themselves and greet others,
distinguish between the formal and informal
'you,' give descriptions of people, places, and
things, exchange personal information, and
discuss family and social relations.
French 102:
This lower-intermediate class is appropriate for
those who possess a basic command of nouns,
agreement of adjectives, and present tense
conjugations. Students learn how to talk about
the weather and clothing, express basic likes
and dislikes in the present tense, make more
complex forms of greeting, and use the simple
past tense. Cultural readings focus on the
themes of family and social relations in France.
French 103:
This lower-intermediate level introduces
adverbs, negation, direct and indirect object
pronouns, and common uses of the present
conditional as well as the difference between
the simple past and the imperfect in past tense
narration. Vocabulary and the use of idiom are
reinforced and expanded through readings and
oral and written exercises focusing on the
themes of work, family and education.
French 104:
This intermediate level begins with a systematic
review of all past tenses and pronouns as well
as the rules of gender, number, and agreement.
New grammar to be covered includes comparatives,
the future tense and the present subjunctive,
ample time being given to practice and reinforce
these new forms. Students review expressions of
quantity and learn more about buying food,
ordering in cafés and restaurants, and
communicating by telephone. Discussion and
reading topics at this level focus on travel,
shopping and dining out, and regional
differences in French cuisine.
French 201-204:
The second-year series is suitable for those who
have a basic command of French grammar and
syntax (French 101-104 at SLA or one year of
college French or equivalent) and can
demonstrate intermediate proficiency in reading,
writing and speaking French. Designed to expand
and refine students' basic repertoire of
language skills, the 200 series combines
systematic reviews of first-year grammar and
vocabulary with conversation practice organized
around themes of general cultural interest.
French 300
French 300 (Advanced Conversation) is a
continuing class for students who possess
advanced proficiency in reading, writing, and
speaking French and wish to maintain and improve
their language skills in a structured setting.
