French 11FRE 2012 WHAT WILL I LEARN? You will learn to communicate in French beyond the immediate context, for example, using past and future tenses.

You will learn to understand and produce a variety of text types, developing skills in interacting, speaking, listening, reading and writing in French. The French language, as well as French culture are studied. This course is task-­‐based, rather than topic driven, and subject material follows student interest.
