Emphasis is on grammar improvement through reading and writing.
FREN 200 is designed and particularly recommended for students who have completed FREN 107 or FREN 112 with a grade lower than A- and who wish to continue their study of French. Emphasis will be placed on the refinement of major grammatical skills such as the mastery of verb tenses and object pronouns, and on written accuracy. This course is also recommended for any student who needs an intense, thorough grammar review in order to increase the likelihood of success in other upper level French courses. This course, conducted entirely in French, emphasizes discussions, debates and oral presentations. Materials including textbook, newspaper and magazine articles, the Internet, films, videos, music and audio tapes will be used as a basis for group interaction and role play.
