French - Advanced I
All Genders Course; Prerequisite - Successful completion of at least three years of high school French; Full Year Course
Course Overview
French – Advanced I students continue to develop their foundational grammatical skills while integrating more complicated structures. There is a focus on stories from different cultures through all types of media: reading, listening and watching films. A comprehensive study of the subjunctive mode is a major focus of the year. Students also learn compound past and future verb tenses. The Francophone world is studied through literature and film, and students study and discuss recurring themes such as family structures, racism, and traditions, all in the target language. Through simulated conversations, discussion posts and oral activities, students hone their speaking and listening skills. A focus on writing is a major thread through the year and students write well developed essays with increasing sophistication as the year progresses. A mastery of all important verb tenses and modes is achieved so that students are prepared to continue on to AP® French Language and Culture course.
