AP/FR 0130 6.00
Elementary French (CEFR A2)
*Discontinued as of Summer 2026
This course is designed for students who have previously studied French. The aims of the course are to consolidate basic oral and written skills, to apply them in various contexts relating to everyday life, and to raise cultural awareness. This course will not count towards the degree requirements for students majoring or minoring in French Studies. The objective of this course (formerly known as AP/FR 1030 6.0) is to give students who have completed Grade 10 French (or equivalent) the opportunity to consolidate and expand their basic language skills in the following four areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is organized around the systematic presentation of grammar, simple syntax and vocabulary in the context of practical situations. The course also provides students with the opportunity to practice speaking skills and gain confidence in oral communication through regular small-group activities and role playing (for instance describing people, seeking information, reporting on local news); students will also have the opportunity to work on pronunciation. Listening comprehension is developed through listening exercises based on conversations between native speakers.
