This is a live online course. You will need:

We will contact you with joining instructions before your course starts.

What will we cover?

-The future tenses: futur proche and futur simple.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

- a better mastery of the present tense
- a better mastery of the future tenses.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is ideal for students with a lower intermediate level of French or who are currently enrolled on a French 2 lower course at City Lit. It may also be suitable for students at a higher level who need to revise and consolidate these tenses. If in doubt, please contact languages on languages@citylit.ac.uk for advice.

For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self assessment chart at the start of the languages section of our course guide or at http://www.citylit.ac.uk/self-assess-your-level
You will also need to be able to respond to simple instructions and explanations, as well as read course documents, in English. You will need to be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time, using the 24 hour clock, reading timetables).

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

All materials will be provided by the tutor.

When I've finished, what course can I do next?
