Welcome to French 1! This course is the first level of French study and is designed to introduce students to both the French language and culture. Students will develop the ability to communicate at a novice-mid level in the five modes of communication: Interpretive Listening and Reading, Interpersonal Communication, Presentational Speaking and Writing, Investigation of Cultural Products and Practices, Understanding of Cultural Perspectives and Participation in Cultural Interaction. I'm so excited to be on this journey with you!
