Core Foreign Language Courses for Online High School Students
Forest Trail Academy’s core foreign language courses help K–12 students build strong communication skills through structured, immersive language learning. These online high school foreign language courses focus on reading, writing, listening, and speaking to support academic success and real-world language use.
Our core foreign language programs are designed to help students read, write, speak, and understand a target language with confidence. Instruction follows a developmental approach, gradually building essential vocabulary and grammar concepts at each level. The primary language of instruction is used extensively in class, while bilingual explanations support comprehension in early stages. Students are encouraged to actively engage with instructors to strengthen pronunciation, comprehension, and conversational skills.
French II expands students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities through increased vocabulary development and deeper grammatical understanding. Students practice pronunciation and intonation during live instruction and learn to communicate using simple past and future tenses. Reading comprehension improves through independent analysis of age-appropriate texts, while cultural studies continue to broaden global awareness.
