Business French (Foundation Level) is a course meant to help learners develop basic oral, written, and hearing skills in French. Through interactive writing, assignments and in-class oral role-plays, learners will have the opportunity to develop communicative competence and enhance their writing skills with newly acquired vocabularies and grammatical structures.

Because Business French (Foundation Level) is an elementary French course for learners with little or no prior knowledge of French, the course will give an introduction to the basic structures of French with intensive work on interpersonal communication in written, oral and hearing forms. As in other French courses, lessons will be conducted entirely in French, with English interpretation where and when necessary. Learners will be guided through a variety of communicative activities that will expose them to considerable knowledge of spoken French and lead them from structured practice to free expression.
