French IV

By the end of French IV, students will have studied all of the major aspects of French grammar, and acquired a wide base of vocabulary, allowing them to communicate in French on an intermediate to advanced level.  Students will have significant practice listening, reading, speaking, and writing French.  Readings such as short stories, plays, poetry, and other print and online sources, as well as short videos and films, provide material for the exploration of diverse francophone cultures. Importantly, by studying the cultures of francophone countries around the world, students will acquire a level of cultural awareness and appreciation for difference that will benefit them wherever they may go. Students in French IV are eligible to participate in Falmouth Academy's biennial exchange with our sister school in Nice, France.
