Early Intermediate

Level 2, Early Intermediate French is an integrated, intensive program for students who have received formal instruction in French, and who have achieved some proficiency but are not yet able to function independently in full immersion. Level 2 focuses on the following:

Developing listening comprehension, oral competence, and socio-cultural communicative proficiency.
Systematic acquisition of strategies for oral and written expression through progressive practice, with topical review of morphological and syntactic structures.

An overview of various cultural aspects of French-speaking communities worldwide, through readings and recordings.

By the end of this seven-week immersion program, students should reach a B1 level of proficiency in all language skills. They will be able to navigate a variety of real-world situations easily, to speak with a certain degree of fluency and spontaneity, to describe complex experiences and events, and to comprehend the main ideas of a wide range of authentic materials.
