Introduction
The Language Learning Center now offers French as a Second Language courses. These new courses provide flexible options for students, staff, and members of the general community so they can learn French at their own pace.

These courses are part of a comprehensive language-learning initiative based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), specifically designed to guide learners from the beginner level (A1) through the upper-intermediate (B2) and advanced (C1-C2) levels in French. Through a communicative approach and instruction provided by experienced instructors, the program aims to equip students with practical French language skills and the confidence needed to communicate effectively in everyday life, in their studies, and in the workplace.

Course Offerings
Intermediate French Development 1
This course integrates the four language skills to help you become fully independent in French: you’ll refine your listening and reading comprehension by analyzing authentic texts (news reports, articles, messages), while developing your speaking and writing skills so you can respond with ease to everyday situations. By mastering practical communication strategies and language registers appropriate to the context, you’ll learn to convey your ideas clearly, coherently, and confidently—whether you’re discussing a health issue, writing a formal email, or simply having a conversation.
