| Program Detail |
: Beginning French 1 is designed to help novice students gain basic proficiency in the French language. The primary goal is to acquire mastery of the fundamentals of French. In the course, students employ various multimedia techniques to aid in learning and using the French language. Students also examine elements of Francophone culture through virtual field trips abroad.
Although this course includes an aural component, it does not attempt to measure a student's acquisition of oral skills. Rather the course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, parts of speech, and the other written components you must master in order to read, write, and comprehend a foreign language. Students are strongly encouraged (but not required) to hone their oral skills using the resources that supplement the course text. |
