Intermediate French II Global

Catalog description

This course develops the advanced linguistic patterns introduced in Intermediate French I and includes more practice in speaking, listening, reading, and composition through discussion and written analysis of French films. The student will become a more proficient French communicator by learning about French culture, history, and politics while studying French cinema in the context of hands-on classroom activities. Knowledge of French vocabulary and grammatical structures taught in the earlier three semesters is assumed. Some grammar study is included, associated primarily with cultural conversations following from the cinema selections and student review projects. Classes are conducted primarily in French. Additionally, the course provides an opportunity to travel abroad; students registered in this section will apply course concepts learned during the semester within a global setting. Prerequisite: FRE215 or equivalent proficiency; approval of the program director or chair.
