This course builds on the acquisitions of French I to IV and aims to give students the ability to conduct a simple conversation in French.  While many activities deal with transmitting information, the focus is shifting 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 V, students will continue to work towards the A2 level of the CEFRL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
