Beginners’ French I
A course based on the A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference, introducing the French language and Francophone cultures, and opening up their understanding in a worldwide context. With an approach that is communicative and collaborative, and inductive and interactive, the course develops comprehension and the mobilisation of knowledge as savoir-faire.
FREN 101 involves three hours per week of classroom work. At the end of the course, students will be able to understand simple communication and to communicate simply about familiar and frequently-encountered topics.
Classes are mostly conducted in French, with some English as needed for explanation. As this course is for students who have never learned any French before, it assumes no prior knowledge of French.
