Class Experience

*****IMPORTANT TO KNOW*****
BEST FOR:
Beginner French learners (or those in need of a refresher) who are serious about becoming fluent in the language. This academic-style curriculum is geared toward students who hope to take the DELF certification exam in the future. CEFR Level A0.


There is a three student minimum for the course to take place. 


SPEED:
Moderate to Fast

EXPECTATIONS:
Students are expected to keep their camera on and should come prepared to take notes as well as participate both in writing and verbally. Students should be able to confidently read, write and count in English. Students will be expected to complete homework assignments twice weekly and will be assessed via Kahoot (un-timed) at various points throughout the course.

FORMAT: 
- Each class students will be given the opportunity to work on 4 areas: Oral production (speaking), Oral comprehension (understanding what is being said in French), Written production (writing) and Written comprehension (reading).
- Students will also be exposed to French music and culture via YouTube videos that will be played in class and assigned for homework. 
- This is NOT a full immersion course. 


CLASS BEHAVIOR & ADMINISTRATIVE INFO: 
Please make note of the following:
1) VIDEO REQUIRED. 
Video is required at the beginning of every class for check in. This is a requirement by Outschool. Upon verification, students may turn off their cameras. 

2) RESPECT
Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. Students are expected to be respectful to all during class.

3) NO SHARING
Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. Also, per Outschool policy, adults are also not allowed on-camera. Students should be able to navigate the class independently. 

4) MINIMUM ENROLLMENT
Classes with less than 2 students will be either canceled and refunded or rescheduled. 

5) MAKE UP SESSIONS
Make up sessions are not available. I encourage students to review the video for whichever class they missed.

6) ABSENCES & REFUNDS
Please refer to the Outschool policy regarding refunds. I cannot offer refunds after the class has taken place.
