This course provides an overview of modern French society.
Attention is given to the stereotypes used to describe French society.
A major goal of the course is to go beyond these stereotypes to acquire greater cultural awareness. Class time is divided between lectures, group discussions, presentations, the viewing of audio-visual materials, and a cooking session. No knowledge of French is required. Ms. R. Selles. Students attend large group sessions in the morning and smaller group sessions in the afternoon to acquire skills in speaking, listening to, reading, and writing French.
