FREN1001

Bonjour! From Africa to Europe to North America (including Maine and Louisiana!), French is a global language of diplomacy and commerce. Join us in learning to communicate in the French-speaking world while exploring how these communities consider how our heritage, the way we spend our time, and what we eat (where, when, and how) relate to our identities, culture, and values. After all, learning a new language is more than learning grammar and vocabulary! Beginning French I (French 1001) is designed for students with little or no knowledge of the French language. Through this course, you will expand your ability to interact in a multilingual, multicultural world by developing your identity as an effective multilingual communicator, a cross-cultural navigator, a critical and analytical thinker, and a life-long learner. You will build these skills by interacting in French with your peers in class and engaging with texts created by and for French speakers. To conclude each unit, you'll use your French skills in a project that simulates a real-world task. Throughout your learning journey, you'll continually reflect on your successes, challenges, and progress. Upon successful completion of this course (grade of C- or better), you will be prepared to continue this journey in French 1002.
