French Mastery
The French Mastery curriculum is designed by topics. The grammar points are taught in a progressive manner. The lessons are in English and French. Students are not expected to speak perfect English. Their English will improve while learning French. Students must bring a mini whiteboard, an erasable marker pen, a whiteboard erasure and a notebook.
At the end of Français 4, Students will have a DELF A2 level. The ‘Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française‘ (DELF) is a diploma which the French Ministry of Education awards as proof of a non-native French speaker’s French language abilities. The student can register as an independent applicant to sit this exam. Click HERE for reasons to learn French.
