ACADEMIC FRENCH FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS-LEVEL 1 (FOUNDATION)

About This Course

Academic French Level 1 (Foundation) is the first stage of the Lola Languages Institute Academic French Program. It is designed for absolute beginners and learners with little or no prior knowledge of French who wish to build a solid foundation for academic and professional communication. Throughout this 16-week course, students develop essential skills in French pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking while becoming familiar with the language of the university classroom. The course introduces learners to academic study habits from the outset, including note-taking techniques, classroom interaction, and basic academic vocabulary relevant to higher education. By the end of the program, learners will be able to introduce themselves confidently, participate in simple classroom interactions, understand and produce everyday academic expressions, read and write short texts, and communicate effectively at a beginner level using accurate pronunciation and fundamental grammatical structures. This course provides the linguistic and academic foundation required for progression to Academic French Level 2 (Intermediate).
