French Conversation

3 units

Online version of U12 313. This one-semester course is designed for students with one to two years of college-level French (or the equivalent) who wish to perfect their speaking and listening abilities, improve their accents, and correctly use common expressions and popular vocabulary. It seeks to increase students' familiarity with the history and culture of modern-day France through an emphasis on French film. Viewings, discussion, and assignments center around a designated theme chosen in order to define, question, and nuance our understanding of specific aspects of French culture. Prerequisite: Two semesters of college French (U12 106-207) or equivalent. This course may not count toward the minor or major in French offered through the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures in the day school.
