A Premium World Language Course
1 year
Available to Grades 3-5

This introductory French course provides an interactive experience for a student’s first exposure to the French language. The content for each unit is based on an authentic story, myth, or legend from various Frenchspeaking cultures. Although the course focuses on vocabulary acquisition, basic grammar principles are intuitively grasped through stories, games, activities, songs, and assessments. In addition, students learn to perform simple tasks in connection with each unit’s theme. Students engage in language learning in a rewarding, low-stress environment, and they become comfortable with the sounds and rhythms of French. They learn simple French phrases; begin to read, write, speak, and listen for meaning in French; and recognize distinctive practices and customs of French-speaking cultures.
