Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals.

Course Catalog Description:
Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals. You will also be prepared for more advanced study in French here or abroad. prereq: C- or better in FREN 1003/4003, or EPT/LPE (for students taking their first French course at the U)

Class Description:
This course is for those who have successfully passed Fren 1003 with a C- or better or have passed all sections of the EPT (Entrance Proficiency Test) for this level. This course continues the building of speaking, writing, listening and reading skills acquired during the first three semesters of French while expanding cultural awareness, knowledge and understanding of Francophone cultures. Emphasis is placed on reading, writing and culture. The theme of this course is that of cultural identity, addressed via discussion of food, family, education, work, nationality and diversity. A custom edition of "Ouvertures" (based on the 4th ed.) includes contemporary and literary texts. In this text students will learn material from Chapters 1 through 8, with emphasis on chapters 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. A supplemental course pack includes activities to accompany video clips, as well as supplemental grammar activities. Writing skills will be developed through process-writing essays. Several class sessions will allow students to work with audio-visual resources (mainly film clips) to develop their listening skills; the clips will also serve as a basis for cultural discussions. Email exchanges with native French speakers learning English will further enhance cultural knowledge. During enrollment in 1004 students who choose to, will have the opportunity to complete the Language Proficiency Exam (LPE) and earn a text line on their transcript endorsing their proficiency in French.

Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals.

Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals.

Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals.

Course Catalog Description:
Vous êtes les bienvenus! Come join us in exploring some of the foundations of cultural identity. What does it mean to be "French?" What does it mean to be "American?" What are some things that people living within a particular culture have in common as a function of living in that culture? Where do personal and cultural identities intersect? We pay special attention to development of Intercultural Competence, comparing how food, child-rearing practices, elements of national identity, and diversity are treated in France and the US. We revisit many grammar concepts you have seen before, focusing on accuracy and extended language use. This course will allow you to be much more confident in using comparisons, narrating (past and present), linking ideas together into longer discourse, describing, etc. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be solidly in the Intermediate ranges of proficiency in French, able to travel and/or use French for your own goals. You will also be prepared for more advanced study in French here or abroad. prereq: C- or better in FREN 1003/4003, or EPT/LPE (for students taking their first French course at the U)

Class Description:
This course is for those who have successfully passed Fren 1003 with a C- or better or have passed all sections of the EPT (Entrance Proficiency Test) for this level. This course continues the building of speaking, writing, listening and reading skills acquired during the first three semesters of French while expanding cultural awareness, knowledge and understanding of Francophone cultures. Emphasis is placed on reading, writing and culture. The theme of this course is that of cultural identity, addressed via discussion of food, family, education, work, nationality and diversity. A custom edition of "Ouvertures" (based on the 4th ed.) includes contemporary and literary texts. In this text students will learn material from Chapters 1 through 8, with emphasis on chapters 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. A supplemental course pack includes activities to accompany video clips, as well as supplemental grammar activities. Writing skills will be developed through process-writing essays. Several class sessions will allow students to work with audio-visual resources (mainly film clips) to develop their listening skills; the clips will also serve as a basis for cultural discussions. Email exchanges with native French speakers learning English will further enhance cultural knowledge. During enrollment in 1004 students who choose to, will have the opportunity to complete the Language Proficiency Exam (LPE) and earn a text line on their transcript endorsing their proficiency in French.

Emphasis is placed on reading, writing and culture. The theme of this course is that of cultural identity, addressed via discussion of food, family, education, work, nationality and diversity. A custom edition of "Ouvertures" (based on the 4th ed.) includes contemporary and literary texts. In this text students will learn material from Chapters 1 through 8, with emphasis on chapters 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. A supplemental course pack includes activities to accompany video clips, as well as supplemental grammar activities. Writing skills will be developed through process-writing essays. Several class sessions will allow students to work with audio-visual resources (mainly film clips) to develop their listening skills; the clips will also serve as a basis for cultural discussions. Email exchanges with native French speakers learning English will further enhance cultural knowledge. During enrollment in 1004 students who choose to, will have the opportunity to complete the Language Proficiency Exam (LPE) and earn a text line on their transcript endorsing their proficiency in French.
