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.
