texts. Students will develop
spontaneous aural expressions related to daily life and Francophone
culture. They will develop the
awareness of cultural, social, and political issues. The course will allow students to reach a
fluency level in writing and speaking. Students will explore
a variety of authentic texts and media that will provide an in-context

people from other regions of the world. Individual practice and collaborative partnering are
constantly provided to increase participation which is evaluated by teacher
and peers. The classroom is organized in a various level approach with
each student in quest of their individual level of ability and preparation to
accept challenge. The teacher will
verify for understanding and comprehension of level by written and oral
questioning. Students will discover with high interest the French culture
of other French speaking countries of the world. They will study their differences and
