France Today: A Language Class
FREN217 FA
Next Offered in 9899 FA
How do you picture France today? Do the French really wear
berets? How do they really speak? What's important to
them? How do they view the hard issues facing their
evolving country? What do they think of Americans?
Students will explore these questions by following the
French press during the period of the course, as well as
reading selected works of literature and sociology. They'll
get yet another view of France by watching television and
films. This course is designed for motivated students with
a firm foundation in French who wish to develop their skills
in speaking and writing.
