French - Conversation

Overview

This upper-intermediate level course is designed to allow you to maintain and practise your conversational French in an informal and friendly environment. The classes will be sufficiently structured to facilitate discussion, while at the same time flexible enough to allow for deviations from the topic and free conversation. A variety of structured in class exercises provide opportunities to practise grammar and vocabulary in context, as well as listening comprehension activities and written work. A wide range of materials are used, including multimedia and print resources.

There will be discussion on a diverse range of topics, as well as structured practice and revision of grammar and vocabulary in context, listening comprehension activities, role plays and written work. New material is prepared each week by the teacher using a variety of multimedia and print resources. No textbook is required and all in class materials will be provided.

Ideal for

This course is aimed at students who have approximately 120 hours of previous French studies and/or wish to maintain or improve their conversational skills in French. Students must be able to converse in French and have a good level of comprehension as the classes are conducted entirely in French.
