Level Two is an integrated, intensive program for students who have received some previous instruction in (or exposure to) French, but who have reached only minimal proficiency and are not yet able to function independently in full immersion.

Level Two focuses on:

* 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 basic morphological and syntactic structures;

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

The course is divided into 3 units. Students will be taught 4 classes a day:

Vocabulary and civilization (3211);
Introduction to literature (3212);
Oral activities (3213);
Grammar.

For this course students will be asked to:
- do presentations using Powerpoint,
- film presentations using their personal digital cameras and/or mobiles (if they have one),
- memorize poems and short texts for the literature class.

Texts: This course makes extensive use of authentic materials: literary excerpts, magazine and news articles, comic strips, songs, film clips and web sites.
