French 1100 is a beginning French course, but many students will have had 1 or 2 years of high school French. Students will learn using all four skills–listening, speaking, reading, and writing with an emphasis on communication. The class meets four days a week and will be taught in French. The pace of the course is much faster than a high school class and should be accompanied by 2 hours of study for each hour spent in class. Class time is used to integrate new structures and vocabulary.
