Course will focus on nuancing acquired oral and written skills and on further developing their fluency and accuracy through the production and understanding of increasingly complex sentences and messages, refined and broadened lexical forms and expressions, and the development of discourse-oriented abilities to create meaning. Students will learn to participate in broader interpersonal interactions and to communicate emotion, opinion, value, and abstraction, while using some idiomatic expressions and a greater breadth and subtlety of vocabulary. An awareness of various francophone cultures and communities will be developed. All students are REQUIRED to complete the French Placement Test (https://frenchpt.utm.utoronto.ca/) before enrolling in ANY FSL or FRE language course for the FIRST time.
