Novice French is an introduction to the study of French and Francophone language and culture. The classroom experience is grounded in the four communicative skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The three modes of communication — interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational — provide the organizing principle for the course content. Students will attain a beginning level of proficiency necessary for carrying out basic communicative functions of the language in everyday life, primarily through speaking but also by writing and reading short dialogues, paragraphs, and articles. Students also become acquainted with cultural aspects of French-speaking countries around the world. The class is taught mostly in the target language, and students are expected to use French to the best of their ability. The goal of Novice French is to progress from the Novice Low to the Novice Mid or Novice High level, as specified by ACTFL proficiency guidelines.
