French Language skills are key to professional and social success in a bilingual country like Canada. In this course, students describe daily activities and react to different situations in daily life using all four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Through various communicative assessments and activities, students express their likes and dislikes in social and work-related contexts and relate past events and projects using simple past and future tenses.
There are four levels of proficiency in the French as a Second Language Program, and they have more than one section for additional practice. Each level complements the other and builds upon previously introduced concepts and vocabulary.
Students who can construct simple sentences in the present tense but don’t know how to express ideas in the past or future. Students who can introduce themselves, ask and answer questions about personal details in the present tense only.
If you only have a basic knowledge of French, you will also profit from this course.
Sign up for this course if you have attended our former Level 1 course in the past 12 months.
Students are encouraged to purchase a hard copy or non-printable digital copy of Shaum’s Outline of French Grammar, Seventh Edition, which is used in all French as a Second Language courses.
The following text is not used in the course, but it can be used as a supplement for more practice. It is available at the Algonquin College bookstore:
There are no grades given in this course, and after successful completion, participants will receive a Statement of Achievement from Algonquin College Corporate Training.
