Description
 

At this level of French, students enhance their studies through longer and more complex literary formats, such as tales, fables, and short stories. From these works, students gain the main vocabulary and grammar points. Some of the topics presented in this course include body/health expressions, regions of France, and travel. Vocabulary may also include a variety of everyday nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, etc. not covered (or lightly covered) in previous courses. Grammatical structures become more detailed and combine aspects of already existing knowledge. Students may expand their verbs by constructing sentences with imperfect, conditional tenses as well as the introduction of compound verb tenses. Students engage in role-play, interviews, conversations, and other activities, to enhance speaking skills. Assessments include writing, listening, reading and speaking skills. An increased use of French (rather than English) in classroom activities is expected. This course offers students the option of earning college credit through Duquesne University. The credits are transferable to any college that accepts Duquesne University credits.

Prerequisites: 85% or higher in French III and Teacher Recommendation
