Speak like a Francophone: Introduction to French Pronunciation

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Through a variety of activities (individual and in small groups) that include transcriptions, audio work, and listening practice, students will get to improve their pronunciation. Lab exercises will be conducted in DeBartolo Hall Language Lab. Students will assimilate the material of the target pronunciation (Standard French), through poem/fable readings and récitations. Students will be able to self-assess their progression through a corrective pronunciation using the short film (court-métrage) "14e arrondissement" from the film Paris je t’aime.
