This course continues the development of the student’s acquired abilities from French 1, 2, and 3, especially in listening comprehension and conversational skills in French. Students will continue to work on the five standards (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) through daily practice with other students, the teacher, and internet activities. Television and multimedia will be used to enhance student learning and to encourage more engagement with the language and culture.

The students will read short prose stories and poetry written by French-speaking authors. There will be more use of French-speaking music for listening comprehension and translation practice. The goal is to use the target language 90% of the time, helping the student achieve fluency, which is the goal of the course.
