Composition and Conversation
FREN 215 SP

This course prepares students for upper-level French courses and for study abroad. It offers students the opportunity to review and strengthen their speaking, writing, and reading abilities in French. Class time is devoted to discussing short reading assignments (short stories, poems, plays, etc.) from the Francophone world (France, Africa, and the Caribbean), and the semester ends with students reading their first novel in French. Daily class discussions, oral presentations, weekly discussions with French teaching assistants, laboratory practice, outside of class grammar review, and compositions are to be expected.
