French III

French III equips students with the proficiency to engage in meaningful conversations and comprehend complex information in French while deepening their understanding of French-speaking cultures. Designed for those who have completed three years of middle school French or one year of French II, this course strengthens interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational skills through exploration of authentic texts, lively discussions, formal and informal presentations, and varied writing tasks, all while refining students’ grammatical accuracy and depth of vocabulary use. 

Students will explore thematic units such as personal relationships, daily life in a city, the world of media and its influence on society, justice and politics while growing their ability to express themselves and comprehend more sophisticated language structures. Discussions about social customs, traditions, and current events in French-speaking countries allow rich opportunities for cultural exploration, as well a chance to reflect on students’ own cultural identities and values as members of our global community. 

 By the end of the course, students will be able to confidently express their personal opinions and engage in more complex conversations in French. They will be able to narrate past, present, and future events, comprehend diverse texts, and write with greater accuracy and clarity, all preparing them for advanced French study and real-world communication.
