FRN105

This course is offered to beginners and to some non-beginners who have had perhaps one year of French in high school, but who feel that their preparation is inadequate for an intermediate course at the college level. The basic communication skills are systematically developed: listening and speaking skills are emphasized in the classroom and expanded with participation in a language tape program. Reading and writing skills are progressively developed through various creative exercises, activities and assignments. Cultural readings and materials are adapted to provide the student with the opportunity to practice communication skills while at the same time discovering aspects of both daily life and traditional culture of Francophones all over the world and within the United States.
