French II was formerly known as French IB. French II is for first year students who are in Semester 2, so for this class there will be 13 face-to-face lessons (No on demand classes). This class meets on Monday and Wednesday, Period 1.

Goal and theme of the class

At the end of the course, students should be able to:
Reinforce the knowledge of Semester 1
Express themselves orally and in writing on the topics beyond their personal world and understand temporal nuances in terms of facts, forecasts and possibilities.
Develop an appreciation of the history of France, French people`s lifestyle, habits, ways of being and make comparisons with their own cultures.

Students should be able to comprehend and respond with increasing proficiency to spoken and written French, demonstrate nuanced cultural awareness and develop an appreciation of the relevance of critical thinking in French.

French II is a continuation of French ONE that the students completed in Semester 1.
As a general guideline, in French ONE, students completed Units 1 and 2 in the textbook Spirale. In French II, students will review the last two pages of Unit 2 (pages 39 and 40) and start and complete Units 3 and 4 of Spirale (pages 41 to 64).
