Why should you take the course?
French is about teaching communication in spoken and written forms, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and cultural understanding which relates to English Literature which is an awesome course to consider taking as well.
For a project students would be required to complete a cultural float exploration project, investigating French holidays, traditions, and cuisine, while practicing vocabulary making visual representations such as posters. In order to do so students could research online, watch videos, and create posters or slideshows. They also would be required to record short spoken presentations to practice pronunciation.
