French 2 Honors

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This proficiency-based honors course is intended for students who are motivated, organized, and ready to work at a challenging pace. It is assumed that students have the basic structures of the French language in place. Students continue to: sustain brief, spontaneous conversations about familiar topics; make presentations; write short essays, summaries, dialogues, and letters, with increasing control of the present, past, and immediate-future tenses; read a variety of texts and listen to audio selections for comprehension and vocabulary expansion. The cultural focus is French geography and its historic and artistic landmarks.
