Comprehension & Pronunciation of French

Catalog description

TAUGHT IN FRENCH. This course is for students who have completed Intermediate French II or the equivalent (e.g., four semesters of French at the college level or four to five years in high school). The course is designed to help students hear and understand French with greater ease and to speak French with greater accuracy. It combines an examination of how sounds are produced, how they are organized into a patterned system, and how they are different from English sounds, with practical exercises in sound discrimination, listening comprehension, and oral practice. Students increase their ability to communicate successfully with French speakers throughout the francophone world. Students needing advisement should contact the French Program Director. May not be offered in 2024-2025.
