This two-semester course is designed to parallel the skill development of a third-year college French course in advanced composition and conversation. The course focuses on the mastery of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through the study of the arts, history, literature, culture, current events and sports, etc. Activities may include viewing feature films, attending a play, and conversing with guest speakers. Students must be highly motivated, have strong interests in French and be willing to meet a demanding standard of accomplishment. Successful completion of this course will better prepare students for college-level material and allow them to proceed with greater confidence.
