French IV - UConn ECE 3250

This course is conducted in French and is designed for those students with a serious interest in the French language, history, literature and culture. There will be a thorough review of French grammar and style with a particular emphasis on perfecting written and oral expression. In alternating years, this course will either emphasize the study of French and Francophone culture and politics or current issues and events through fiction, non-fiction, journalism and film. Students will be expected to read and analyze authentic prose and poetry and will develop an appreciation of the various genres through intensive literary analysis. Film, as a voice of cultural, artistic and political expression, will also be viewed and analyzed in class. Emphasis will be placed on perfecting both oral and written expression through discussion, presentations, and composition on assigned topics.
