This course is intended for students who have 0-2 years of prior French. Our main goals are to develop proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and to apply these skills in conversation and in exploring French-speaking cultures. The main components of the course include conversation practice in class; workbook exercises; online practice activities; and online quizzes and tests. French I is a four-credit course even though we only meet three times per week. It therefore includes a fair share of independent study. Class time emphasizes textbook review and the development of communication skills.
