French (FREN)

An introduction to the sounds, structures and dynamics of the French language. The student is expected to acquire a basic vocabulary, a command of the most common indicative verb patterns, and a sound familiarity with the notions of gender, tense, and word-order.

Is a continuation for FREN 101. This course aims at enlarging the students' vocabulary and command of verbal structures. Idiomatic expressions are introduced along with cultural and historical material. Class work involves pattern drills, simple conversations on personal and current topics.

Emphasizes reading and writing and continues development of audio-lingual skills.

Continues work begun in Intermediate French I, including advanced conversational skills.

Is a title given to a course which covers broad themes, practices, and subject content not currently offered in the curriculum. This course is directed primarily at non-majors and may be used for general education where approved.
