Subject Overview Level 2
The course continues to develop the skills needed to understand and use everyday written and spoken French. The focus is on communication in less familiar contexts. Students have to be committed to learning vocabulary and language features and to preparing their internal assessments. Cultural studies (including analyzing French songs) are an integral component of the course.
The topics in level 2 are more focused on community and what’s happening in French society. Our typical themes include: My Future, Study and Jobs, Friends, Technology and Social Media; the Environment; Paris, the French cinema; some French History, French Arts; a Film study, relevant French current events, and other topics that interest the class.
