French-language MOOC (advanced learners)
Negotiable
A MOOC is a free, open online course, usually with elements where you interact with
other students and/or the course instructor.
If you choose to pursue one of these courses, you will be improving your French by using
it at a real-world level to listen, learn, and write about another subject that interests you.
Participating in a MOOC (and having products to show what you have learned) would
likely replace some of your coursework in this class. If you are interested in pursuing this option,
please come talk to Mme Gold, and we will make some arrangements that best fit your learning
goals.
Please see the “Practice French” tab on www.goldlanguage.wikispaces.com for some
options.
