This course builds on the acquisitions of French I to III and aims to equip students with the ability to conduct a simple conversation in French.  While a lot of  activities still deal with transmitting information, the focus is progressively switching to expressing ideas and opinions and arguing for or against them.  To achieve this, a range of classroom activities will be proposed, in which active participation is expected.  Pronunciation and grammar skills will also be taught.  In French IV, students will be working towards the A2 level of the CEFRL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
