French 40S (FRE40S)
Course Description
French courses at GVC maintain an emphasis on the experiential approach and constant use of the language. Cultural and linguistic materials include various sources such as TV, movies, magazines, web sites, music & literature. French competency is not just the destination; it’s the route and the vehicle used to reach that destination.
At this level, students develop more advanced language skills, including some study of classic French literature and various other creative projects/activities. The goal is to work toward functional bilingualism and preparation for post-secondary advanced language studies or additional language acquisition.
