Elementary French 3

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture | 1 hrs Lab) This course is intended for students with some knowledge of French wishing to bring their proficiency up to the entrance level for a Major or Minor in French. The focus is on the review of basic grammatical skills (e.g. pronouns, past tenses, simple sentences), and on the gradual acquisition of complex structures (e.g. subordinate clauses, tenses of the conditional and the subjunctive). Lexical skills are targeted through reading activities (e.g. magazine articles, short poems or narratives) and by listening to audio documents (e.g. songs, video clips). The weekly one-hour lab (travaux pratiques)) is dedicated to developing greater ease with using vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. Writing tasks evolve from shorter to longer sentences and to compositions. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and FREN-1111 | FREN-1112. Requisite Courses: Placement test, or FREN-1102(3), or the former FREN-1001(6) [prerequisite(s)]; FREN-1103L (lab) (must be taken concurrently). STUDIES
