As in French I, in this course, you will learn the basics of French, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking. At the end of the quarter, you will know how to introduce yourself and volunteer basic information, and how to ask questions of others. You will also have some knowledge of French and Francophone cultures and protocols. This class is divided into four modules, which follow the chapters in the textbook. In each module, you will be asked to read, write, speak, and listen in French. You will have daily homework assignments to complete. The class also includes a quarter-long cultural immersion project, in which you will be asked to conduct research on specific aspects of a non-European Francophone country and report your findings to the rest of the class.
This course has been designed to meet the specific needs of community college students in the state of Washington. Nevertheless, it can be adapted for any class.
French 122 is designed to be used in a face-to-face setting, but it could easily be adapted for use in a hybrid course. If you wish to use it to teach online, you will need to make significant modifications.
