CourseDescription/Rationale/Overview:This course provides opportunities for students to communicate in French about personally
relevant, familiar, and academic topics in real-life situations with increasing independence. Students will exchange information, ideas and
opinions with others in guided and increasingly spontaneous spoken interactions. Students will develop their skills in listening, speaking,
reading, and writing through the selective use of strategies that contribute to effective communication. They will also increase their
understanding and appreciation of diverse French-speaking communities, and will develop skills necessary for lifelong language learning.
