Intermediate French II: Cultures and Communication FREN 202 (3)

This is the second of two intermediate level courses in French. Through a variety of original material in French (newspaper articles, fictional writings, radio and tv news, as well as other written and audiovisual documents), students will be introduced to francophone cultures, current events, and new vocabulary on topics such as the media, politics, the environment, immigration stories and popular tales. A strong focus will be made on the development of listening skills and oral production, as well as reading and writing. Grammar will be introduced and practiced mostly online with only short review sessions in class and lessons will cover most tenses/modes as well as some complex sentence structures such as relative pronouns and indirect speech. Classes will be taught entirely in French and students will be expected to communicate in French. Prerequisite: FREN 201 or FREN 210 or permission of the Department of French. Students with credit for FREN 211 may not take this course for further credit. Breadth-Humanities.
