Certificate of Completion
Program Code: FRENI
This certificate, comprised of two courses, is designed for learners who want to further expand their knowledge of the French language. Learners will explore the themes of modern life, daily routines, tourism, health and medicine, culture, business, science, and technology through a combination of interactive and engaging online language learning activities.
The courses in this certificate will enable learners to strengthen their knowledge of French language structures of expressing quantities, obligation, location, destination, and origin, identifying and describing, and saying what they have been doing and what they will do.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this certificate, the learners will be able to:
Language Equivalency
Completion of this certificate will allow learners to reach B2 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is equivalent to level 8 in the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB).
Method of Delivery
This program will be offered through both synchronous and asynchronous delivery modes. Learners will meet their instructor weekly for a live 2-hour interactive synchronous session. In addition, learners will also engage in asynchronous learning.
French Language Placement Test
The placement test was designed to help you informally assess your French language proficiency to gain a better idea of which course to begin your French studies. The placement test focuses on knowledge of basic grammatical structures; it does not evaluate oral and written skills. The placement test contains 50 multiple-choice questions. It is recommended that you take the test without the use of any study aids to obtain a more accurate result. Take the French placement test now. To register for this certificate, you should be at French 4 in the placement test.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
Learners with prior learning in the French language as confirmed by the placement test may be eligible for a course credit in recognition of their prior learning. The placement test will indicate the recommended French course that learners should register into. If the placement test recommends that a learner starts the certificate at the second course (FREN 201), then the learner can apply for a PLAR for the first course. The learner should first register for the recommended course after taking the placement test, then send an email to cplliberalarts@humber.ca to apply for the PLAR. There is a fee of $86 per course associated with the application for PLAR.
You are required to register for each individual course included in a CE program. You can register for a course by selecting it and following the instructions in the “How to Register” box.
Each CE program is comprised of a series of courses which may all have different fees. You are required to register for each course individually and pay the associated fees. Once you select the course, the fee is displayed in the “How to Register” box.
