FREN 1022 - Accelerated Beginning French (5 Cr.)

French & Italian (10962) TCLA - College of Liberal Arts

Course description

Heureux de vous revoir! Because you have studied French before, you already know what a wonderful language it is. This course is designed to return you to studying this global language of diplomacy and commerce, spoken from Africa to Europe to North America (including Maine and Louisiana!). Join us in learning to communicate in the French-speaking world while exploring connections between identity and the ways we spend our time or what we eat (where, when, and how), how different communities define health and well-being, the links between place and memory, as well as how our past experiences shape our future ambitions. After all, learning a new language is more than learning grammar and vocabulary! Accelerated Beginning French (French 1022) is designed for students who have some background in French but would benefit from a review of the basics and therefore have been placed in 1022 through the Entrance Proficiency Test (EPT). As such, it includes an accelerated review of French 1001 followed by the material covered in French 1002. Through this course, you will continue to 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, you will be prepared to continue this journey in French 1003.
