FR101 is an intensive beginner course which begins in English with the basics of grammar and its terminology. We then move on to an active learning approach, calling on you to use your critical thinking skills and participate actively in the process of discovering the French language. This will include listening, reading, writing, and speaking in French. FR 101 prepares students for the basic French course FR 151.
FR101 is a completely online course designed for asynchronous learning. No synchronous activities or communications with the instructor will be expected.
