Heritage French : Developing Foundational Skills

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course is designed to build on heritage learners' skills to prepare them for success in subsequent French courses. Skill areas include in-depth practice in reading and writing, along with review and expansion of targeted grammar structures, and development of precision in vocabulary. While the primary focus is improving reading and writing-ranging from informal communication to formal academic essays-students' oral and listening skills will also be addressed. Throughout the quarter, students will complete a project based on interviews with family members to gain a deeper understanding of their own heritage and a broader perspective of the Francophone world.
