Course Detail: LNG131 - French Conversation: Beginning II
Bonjour!
This course builds upon the foundation established in French Conversation: Beginning I. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on interactive learning methods, encouraging students to actively engage in conversations, discussions, and exercises to strengthen their language abilities. In addition to refining language skills, this course also offers insights into French culture, providing students with a broader understanding of the customs, traditions, and societal norms of French-speaking regions.
By the end of the course, students can expect to have expanded their vocabulary, improved their pronunciation, and gained a better grasp of grammar concepts, all of which contribute to their overall proficiency in conversational French and their ability to effectively communicate in real-life situations.
Required textbook: Deux mondes: 6th Student Edition, ISBN: 978-0073535449, must be purchased on your own. (Same book as Beginning I)
