ST: Experiencing French

Catalog description

Special Topic: Experiencing French. This special course will take French outside of the classroom. Students will practice office vocabulary in offices across campus, library vocabulary while exploring the library, gym vocabulary at the Bear, housing vocabulary at the French House, etc. We will learn the vocabulary, language structures, expressions, and grammar that comes out of our natural curiosity of these spaces, so students think differently about and in French. The goal of this course is to get students to think with French outside the classroom while exploring our campus and students' interests. This course is accessible to students who have completed the 100-level of French at Grinnell or by placement and will accommodate a variety of linguistic skills and learning goals that will be decided by the professor with the students enrolled. Prerequisite: FRN 102 or 103 or placement in 200-level French.
