FREN 112 - Beginning French II

In this course, students will develop essential listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in French. They will learn enough language to handle a meaningful conversation, read a short novel, and speak or write about their experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This class also starts to prepare students for ensuing literature and film classes in our curriculum. Students will write several short compositions. Students will also be introduced to the French and francophone world by working on cultural materials from the French-speaking world, and learn to use French as it is spoken and written today.
