French Intensive

What is it?

Students will learn the foundational knowledge and skills required for basic fluency in the French language. The course is based on the textbook "Cosmopolite" and is taught by an experienced French instructor. The course is a four-skills focused course (reading, speaking, listening, and writing). In addition, students will learn French grammar, vocabulary, idioms, culture, and pronunciation. Each week concludes with a task/project that students work on outside of class and is then assessed at the end of the week. Language-Flex's French intensive curriculum is designed to equip students with functional language and become competent, confident, communicative, and culturally aware speakers of French.
