French III

This course is designed for students who are college-bound or are simply interested in an advanced and rigorous study of French.

 

Students will expand a complex, high-level vocabulary focusing on academic themes such as art, self and society, the environment and they will also be exposed to the history of France and to its literature. Students will read and study famous French authors such as Moliere, Rousseau, Rabelais and more.

 

Students will achieve competence in many advanced grammatical structures including: the subjunctive, the present perfect, the pluperfect, the conditional, and the imperative tenses.

Students will be expected to conduct themselves in French and will move towards complete French interaction by the end of the year. They will begin to read complex texts and be able to respond intelligently and extensively both verbally
and in writing both to the texts, to each other, and to the teacher. A strong foundation with the preterit and imperfect tenses is highly recommended. (E)
