Course Details

This course is a continuation of French I. French II students are able to communicate in French with one another and with their instructor with greater ease, and at this level, the class is taught almost exclusively in French. Continued study of grammar and vocabulary aids the students in speaking and writing about events in the past, the present, and the future. Besides their textbooks, French II students will continue to use different media to increase their understanding and proficiency in the language. Students will complete a major art project that incorporates their knowledge of French history, French culture, and, of course, the language itself. At this level, students can appreciate excursions to French movies, plays, and museum exhibits. French games, music, and cuisine continue to enhance their appreciation of French culture.

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in French I or a grade of C or better on Salesian’s World Language Placement exam.
