THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT AT MILLS CAMPUS

Production orale et prononciation / Oral Production and Pronunciation (1 unit)

Level Three is for students who have had significant previous instruction in French and who 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.

N.B. All four courses are required

This conversation-based course focuses on speaking in context: discussion of theme songs, reports, advertisements, television news, movies, texts, etc.. The objectives are to enable learners to acquire an ease and fluidity in speaking by enriching their vocabulary, but also their pronunciation and the ability to formulate and express ideas clearly and audibly. In addition to oral exchanges, an awareness of French phonetics will be offered using the book Phonétique progressive du Français and its CD.
