If you want to learn French conversation skills in Sydney then this course is for you.

If you thought French was just the language of romance and berets, you were mistaken. French is much more than simply food, wine and the Eiffel Tower, so start to understand the wealth of cultural heritage by learning the language. There are 30 countries where French has official or semi-official status!

With the foundation skills you are now ready to focus on conversational niceties. Conversation is a rich and subtle art, and this level of course focuses on improving your conversational techniques specific to the language you are studying.

This course assumes at least 48 hours of previous language study (for example through completing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).

Agenda

During this course the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given. Due to the variable nature of Adult Education classes, parts of the curriculum may be adapted to suit the needs of the class.

• Practising speaking French fluently with correct pronunciation.
• Using conversational skills to solve problems, ask questions, to participate in exchange of views.
• Appreciating French culture and customs.
• Learning and practising vocabulary, grammar and conversation techniques.

Objectives

By the end of the course the student will have:

• Consolidated use of spoken grammar and colloquialisms.
• Practised speaking correctly and fluently in a variety of situations about a number of contemporary issues.
• Learned some techniques for participating in complex discussions.

Other Information

GEOS College is located on Level 5, 56–58 York Street
Sydney (between Market & King Sts).
