Build your confidence as you improve your ability to converse in the present tense and become familiar with past tenses. French 2 covers activities, professions, descriptions, and the past tense.
Prerequisite: French 1.
Course format
For the first five weeks of class, you will practice speaking in weekly 30–minute online sessions led by an experienced instructor, with a maximum of 3–6 other participants. To get to know all of your classmates, your conversation time will vary between the first or second 30–minute time slot of the hour you registered for. You should be available for either.
For the second half of the course, weeks six through ten, you will meet with the entire group for the full hour. Your instructor will use breakout rooms to facilitate small group work.
The live online sessions begin one week after the scheduled course start date to allow time to work through the first unit of learning material in preparation for the live conversation practice.
Online course materials introduce new grammar and vocabulary and teach pronunciation, listening, and reading skills through videos, audio, and interactive exercises. Budget 3-4 hours a week to work through the online asynchronous content.
Course materials become available online on the scheduled course start date and remain accessible for one month after the course ends.
