Description

This year-long sequence of courses in French is designed to reinforce, practice, and build upon previous skills.  The class is fast paced, interactive, and focuses on continued review of grammatical structures, conversational skills with native speakers, discussion of video segments, music, poetry, Francophone themes, and Internet news clips.  Students are expected to interact in French in discussions.  Students will increase their reading and writing skills through study of selected literary excerpts or a short novel.  Winter quarter will focus on theater with performances of short scenes.  In spring, students will view a small selection of films and discuss questions of French identity, history, and culture while learning to analyse, compare, and appreciate certain aspects of film.
