This course continues from the Elementary level from Term 3, 2026 and is for any student wishing to learn the language for business, travel or everyday use.

Grammar points will include further development  of verb tenses (present, perfect, future and imperfect), demonstrative adjectives (ce/cette), personal pronouns, comparatives & superlatives, continuing from Unit 16 of Vite et Bien 1.

Required resources:   Vite et Bien 1 (2nd edition) an all-inclusive textbook and activity book with audio CD and answer booklet.  Available for purchase from the AFT.  This textbook covers levels A1 & A2.

While we endeavour to offer classes in line with the enrolments made, there are a number of restrictions, principally, total enrolment numbers and availability of teachers. All times and venues of classes are subject to confirmation.

Pace: 1.5 hours per week for 8 weeks

As in previous terms  this class is a “composite class” of those who have started or completed the elementary levels and those who had been enrolled in the Upper Intermediate (B2) level. Your teacher will adapt the course in response to the enrolments and she intends to cater better to your needs without being tied to a textbook.

Each class will be based on a theme related to French society, cultural practices and politics. Lesson content will be based on a variety of resources including newspaper articles, songs, plays, and online media. This course aims to further consolidate comprehension and communication skills in more advanced French through discussion, reading and listening activities.

Required resources: Resources will be supplied for each lesson (and there may be a small surcharge to cover resources, rather than a textbook)
