FRENCH II

Full year - One credit

The prerequisite for this course is French I. In French II, students are preparing for “checkpoint B” of the New York State syllabus. The vocabulary and grammar of the thematic topics introduced in French I are expanded throughout the year, and a unit about clothing is also included. This spiraling process improves the quality of oral communication, reading ability, and writing skills. Situational conversation practice in the target language continues to be stressed for each thematic unit. Cultural understanding is promoted through projects in which students compare and contrast the American and French cultures.
