Course Outline

This course is designed for students who have completed over 2 years of studies. Students have a sound knowledge of the main tenses (présent, futur proche, passé composé, imparfait and an understanding of conditionnel) and have a reasonable level of vocabulary. In that class, we will continue to build up all aspects of the language (grammar, reading and writing) in a step by step manner along with constant revisions throughout the Term.

The course is divided into 2 parts: grammar and conversation as practice makes it perfect! Students will be encouraged to talk and should be able to enter unprepared into conversation on different topics that are familiar (everyday life, current events, travel …). Mistakes will be pointed out and based on that, grammar will be reinforced. Active participation is required. Homework will be assigned.

This Term, we will learn: the “discours indirect” at the present and past tense / the expression of the “condition, opposition, concession” (+ subjonctif) / and general revisions.
