*If you are unsure this level is the right one for your student, please message me so I can send you a quick placement test.* Students will be provided with resources and instructional material for an entire French 1B course. Three units are covered for a total of 45 lessons, various self-assessments, guided practice activities, and performance activities, and unit tests. Every fourth week provides extra emphasis on performance in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Live lessons will be offered once each week and will include immersion-style performance activities as well as explicit practice with English explanations as appropriate to the week's lessons and the learners' progress. Students should plan to spend 6 - 10 hours each week on work for this course to stay on pace.
Learning Goals
French 1B is part two of an introduction to French language and culture. Sample topics include: food and drink, dining, and cooking; shopping, errands, and clothing; and family, traditions, and storytelling. The fundamentals of French pronunciation, grammar, and culture are presented through a balanced development of the four skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This course is appropriate for students who are seeking serious academic French with the long-term goal of becoming fluent. It is part of a ten-course core series I offer to prepare students to study, work, or live abroad or to attempt AP French, SAT French, or French Clep credit. Additional short courses are offered on French slang, French creoles, French texting, French Convo Club, French Poetry, French Music, French Art, French for STEM, Career Exploration with French, Literary French, Romance Languages, and more.

I have taught French at all levels from middle school to college since 1995. I have designed online language courses since 1999. I believe online learning is an effective way to learn a language, both as a teacher and a learner. While I have designed this course to be a paced course, it offers flexibility to work at a learner's pace within the weeks to accommodate students' learning preferences and schedules.
See below for student responses to the question: "How did your teacher communicate with you and how frequently?"
(Note, student grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors are preserved.)
"My teacher talked to me often, she helped me alot [sic] through out this course. She would keep me updated, give me tips and helped me if i [sic] was stuck, she also would say good morning and things like that, i [sic] know its [sic] not relavant [sic] but i [sic] thought that was really nice."
"She would always end with have a good day and a lot of teachers don't do that."
"YES. She was great. Best teacher as far as communication that I have had while doing online classes."
"She sent us tips and tricks and responded on time to any questions or concerns."
"I would ask her questions about the guided practices and grading. She would update me on assignments I didn't finish."
"She went in depth to answer my questions in a timely manner, and never made me feel like the question was dumb to ask. she [sic] also reached out to me with things i [sic] could to to do better understand the lesson and help my grade."
"This was my first time taking an online course. I was really scared and worried it would be hard but it wasn't. i [sic] rarely ever had technical issues. My teacher helped me and explained every question i [sic] had. My teacher made sure i [sic] was always on task and assisted me with tasks i [sic] should complete. Overall my experience was great , and i [sic] would recommend this class."
"I was able to learn things that were supposed to be covered in French 1 in school but my teacher didn't cover it well. The communication between the teacher and students was well oriented and it would be hard to misunderstand the messages she sends. I enjoyed this course!" Reviews
