Upper Intermediate

Level 3 - Upper Intermediate French is designed for students who have had significant previous instruction in French and are already able to function independently in full immersion. Typically, students at this level demonstrate textual/writing ability beyond the sentence level. The individual components of the program are designed to complement one another, and all include intensive study of the language. Students will also arrive at a broader appreciation of French and Francophone cultures and literatures. Students in Level 3 take the following four classes each day, awarding a total of three units of credit.

By the end of this seven-week immersion program, students should reach a B2 level of proficiency in all language skills. They will have no problem navigating a variety of real-world situations and will be able to speak with increasing ease, fluency, and spontaneity, to engage with a wide range of materials from various contexts, to recognize implicit meaning, and to show sophistication in all their skills.

3303 Developing oral and written communication
Through cinema, reading, oral presentations and performances, students will improve their spoken French. Whether for public speaking, oral exams, presentations, conferences, or job interviews, this course will provide the strategies, tools and practice for more assertive and confident speech. In addition to oral communication skills, we will practice written communication throughout the session.
