Spanish Program

Welcome to French I and French II online

French online courses are open to beginners and students with little background in French. There will be no meetings for these courses (Please Note: Optional exam reviews or on campus exams may be scheduled depending on the semester and/or instructor. Check your syllabus.) As with any distance learning course, the responsibility of learning mostly falls on the student. These online courses require self-discipline, organization, and time.

The courses will focus on grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension, reading, writing, and in a limited way speaking and culture. The best setting for learning how to speak a language is the classroom setting, which provides teacher-student and student-student interactions. Students who want to attain more fluency in speaking French are strongly encouraged to take French III once they complete French I and II. Since the same textbook is used for online and on-campus courses in French I and II, students can also switch from online to in-class and vice-versa, i.e. take French I online and French II in class or vice-versa.

Students may elect to take these courses with the S/U (pass/fail) option. S/U grades do not impact a student’s grade point average. If you choose this option, you may fill out an S/U agreement prior to the end of the fourth week of classes. You cannot choose this option if you need to satisfy the foreign language requirement.
