Residents of the language communities undergo prerequisite coursework and an application/interview process before being admitted to the program. Though our students possess varying levels of language ability, all have been previously exposed to the basic concepts of French. Areas of Concentration: Not all of our residents are French majors. We are proud to have a distinguished and ecclectic group of students that enrich the program on an individual basis. Their language interests, however, mainly consist of French literatue, French linguistics, French and Business, French and Education, etc. Conversation Course Each resident is required to register for FREN 2030-Practical French Conversation, a one-hour credit course that is designed to engage the students in everyday conversations utilizing vocabulary that is not frequently encountered in traditional language classrooms. Topics of discussion are quite varied and reflect student interests. Recent themes have included music, food, and cinema. |
