FR 300 - Writing

This advanced French course, which will address a specific theme selected at the instructor’s discretion, will help students improve their writing skills through an in-depth study and application of advanced French grammar, vocabulary, and writing techniques. Over the course of the semester, students will also read and critically examine texts of various genres corresponding to the course and watch clips of and/or full-length films. These readings and films will not only provide a means for improving skills of reading comprehension and literary behavior, and cultural empathy, but will also be a model for the various opportunities to apply their learned writing techniques by preparing short written assignments and longer compositions through a multi-draft process. Students will receive peer and instructor feedback on their written work to help them correct and learn from their mistakes in order to improve their writing skills. This course will fulfill the Writing Intensive core requirement. This course is conducted in French.
