French II

Mon/Wed 11:30-12:30  |  Grades 9-12  |  Instructor: Mary O’Donnell  |  Class meets 66 times

Prerequisites: French I or instructor’s permission, purposed review of English grammar before classes begin (specifics available), 10 hours of French review homework over the summer.

This comprehensive Christian-based French course taught by a native speaker uses BJU French 2 materials as a base and will include additional reading assignments, activities, scripture memorization and simple book reports. This is a slower paced class than French I in order to meet the goal of equipping students to communicate clearly and effectively to those in francophone countries. Beginning with the summer before class, I will be encouraging the students to communicate more fluidly in French. Students will complete half of the BJU French 2 book, and additional material I provide to supplement and complement the material. The second half of the book is covered in French 3 (students are often able to get credit for 2 years of college French at the end of French 3). I provide almost all the books needed for a rental fee of $5 per item, per year, or you may purchase them all on your own for about $180. Due to the immense amount of extra material provided, there is a copy and material fee of $40. Note that there will be ten hours of summer work to be completed before classes begin. References and insight about this class from former parents/students are available upon request.
