About This Course

Being able to communicate efficiently in French is a priceless asset in the bilingual workplace. In this advanced level course, students practice all four communication skills to improve their ability to express themselves in the past, present and future in simple and complex sentences on various topics from the workplace and current issues. They increase the level of complexity of their written and oral productions by practicing complex sentence structures and expressing and confronting their opinions on unfamiliar and complex topics from their work life and personal experiences. They build coherent argumentation to justify their opinions methodically, including hypotheses, probability, or certainty.

Prerequisites

There are four levels of proficiency in the French as a Second Language Program, and they have more than one section for additional practice. The levels are Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Proficient. Each level complements the other and builds upon previously introduced concepts and vocabulary.

Who Should Attend

Students who can express and simply justify their opinions on familiar topics but need to practice expressing conditions and hypotheses on complex or abstract topics in a logical, well-organized manner in detail.

If you are studying for the Federal government’s Level C language exam, or if you need a refresher course to practice for your upcoming language renewal exam, you will benefit from this course.

Sign up for this course if you have attended our former Level 6 course in the past 12 months.
