Current Course Description: This sequence of courses will help students refine writing and speaking skills. A study of the French sound system will address individual students difficulties. Prerequisite: FR 203 prerequisite for FR 301; FR 301 prerequisite for FR 302; FR 302 prerequisite for FR 303 |
|
New Course Description: FR 303 pushes students to develop nuanced expression and make detailed and clear speeches in French. Topics such as ¿revendications¿ and ¿work¿ engage practical skills, like being able to express frustration constructively, write a resume, or attend a job interview. Phonetics focuses on specific sounds difficult to master. They read more complex literary works and add to personal vocabulary lists. Grammar alternates between difficult concepts (the subjunctive, object pronouns with imperative) and consolidation of the basics; also use of linking words and connectors to write complex well-structured texts. Ongoing study of culture through articles, music, movies, literary works, websites, etc. Prerequisite: FR 302 or instructor permission. |

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Catalog cleanup -- separation of sequence courses |
