French IV and Beyond
This course is taught in a spiral rather than a straight line. Instead of learning rules in a linear way, we focus on becoming confident speakers through the combination of orally applied grammar and spaced repetitions. We will study authentic situations and circle key structures of French for proficiency. For students who have completed French III or its equivalent, this course is for those who have started to master the three verb groups in the présent, passé composé, imparfait, and futur. You will consolidate those in practical and fun speaking-intensive exercises while also familiarizing yourself more with other key structures of the language such as the conditionnel, subjonctif, and commonly used expressions. A particular emphasis will be placed on learning what is necessary to travel to a French-speaking country. For Section 01 course materials will be made available online for students to either access electronically or print. For Section 02 the required text: The Ultimate French Review and Practice, Premium Third Edition is available at the Brookline Booksmith.
