BEGINNER I:
This course is designed for "true" beginners and will begin with the very basics of French grammar. Students will learn how to introduce themselves and greet others, how to give and understand simple directions and how to ask and answer specific questions.

BEGINNER II:
This course is a continuation of BEGINNER A therefore students enrolling in this course should already have some basic knowledge of French (i.e. the alphabet, numbers, how to conjugate verbs in the present tense, and be able to perform the tasks as described in the previous course). Upon completion of BEGINNER B, students should be able to speak about work, family, their interests, the weather, and to participate in brief conversations.

INTERMEDIATE I:
Student enrolling in this course should already be able to communicate in French and must already have a general understanding of French grammar (i.e. present, past and future tenses). At the end of this course, students will be able to participate in conversations with greater ease. Students at this level will also work at developing their writing skills.

INTERMEDIATE II:
Upon completion of this course, students will have achieved a level at which they feel comfortable and confident enough to participate in conversations and discussions on general topics. Students will also have developed the skills to begin communicating with ease in writing.

ADVANCED I:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social and professional topics. Students will also be able to obtain and analyse information and opinions and will learn how to co-chair meetings and debates. Students will have mastered enough of the language to enable them to do advanced tasks such as defend an opinion, deal with hypothetical issues, and discuss complex work-related issues.

ADVANCED II:

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed French Advanced I or who have the recommendation of the Department Head. The course focuses on refining conversational skills and reviewing essential grammar points, as well as exploring advanced grammar and complex sentence structure. Contemporary francophone culture is highlighted. Key authors from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are studied, as are the works of several French cinematographers such as Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, and Claude Berri. Units on sociopolitical aspects of French history from 1789 to the present are examined. The role of France and francophone countries in contemporary international relations provides another facet of this course.
