FR 150 - French Semester II

This French language course uses a communicative approach to help students with a basic command of French to improve all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In addition to a review of vocabulary and grammar and task-oriented practice through in-class activities, online exercises, and chapter projects, the course material includes topics of historical and cultural importance corresponding to the Francophone world. Students will study and discuss a variety of reading selections of varying lengths, film excerpts, and audio recordings on or by native French speakers. Students will be able to function in a French context, expressing themselves and creating with language, due to a solid understanding of the French language and culture. The course requires three contact hours with the professor and one contact hour of conversation with a Native Speaker each week.

Four credits.

Prerequisite(s): FR 100 or placement.
