International Languages

Key Components
The objective of the International Language programs is to enable learners to communicate purposefully in French and provide opportunities for students to develop an openness to cultural diversity. Instruction focuses on the purposeful use of the language rather than a study of grammatical structures. Grammar instruction plays a supportive role only, in order to facilitate communication and comprehension.
