This course is designed for students who already have knowledge of some French grammar and vocabulary. For students who have taken my Beginner/Intermediate French Semester Course, this is a follow-up class to the first semester. We will be working on material at the A1 and A2 level (low intermediate French). I will use slides to present vocabulary and grammar in each lesson, which will be available as a PDF file after each class for students to view or download from the classroom page. The classroom page will be where I post both lessons and links to quizzes or worksheet assignments. As we go through class, each student will be called on to pronounce various words or translate words or phrases. We will also have dialogues and conversation using the grammar and vocabulary from the lessons. The course will be scheduled twice a week for 12 weeks. The lessons will be organized as follows: Week 1 - Review pronouns and verbs - Review adjectives, adverbs Week 2 - Negation - Practicing negative sentences Week 3 - Vocabulary theme: the weather/seasons - Listening/Speaking Practice Week 4 - Asking questions - Practicing dialogues with questions/answers Week 5 - Vocabulary Theme: Body & Clothes - Speaking/Listening practice Week 6 - Near future with aller - Writing/Speaking Practice Week 6 - Learn different pronominal verbs - Reading Comprehension Week 7 - Adverbs - Adverbial pronouns Week 8 - Vocabulary Theme: House & Routine - Writing practice Week 9 - Vocabulary Theme: Time and dates - Speaking practice Week 10 - Passé Composé (Compound Past Tense) - Être & avoir in Passé Composé Week 11 - Idiomatic expressions - Speaking practice Week 12 - Recap - Conversation and games
