FREN 5 Conversations and Style

A bridge course between the elementary language sequence and FREN 6, Texts and Contexts. You’ll build your cultural knowledge by studying historical and contemporary French and francophone societies. Focus topics include evolving political and regional identities, literature and the expression of identity, gender relations, the role of the media, education, religion and immigration. You’ll expand your active use of French, refine reading and writing strategies, and comprehensively review grammar. Course work includes active participation in class discussions, oral presentations, and regular reading/writing assignments in the areas of narrative and poetry, cinema, music, and journalism. Not open to students who have received credit for FREN 008 or FREN 09.01.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
