FRE 102 - Beginning French II (1)

FRE 101- FRE 103 develop students’ linguistic and cultural proficiency. Coursework covers speaking, listening, reading and writing in French. The French language will be used to communicate during 90% or more of class time by both the instructor and students. Successful completion of the beginning-level language course sequence prepares students to function in a variety of authentic communicative situations within a French speaking context and to become life-long language learners. All French language classes, from the beginning to the advanced level, also develop students’ awareness and understanding of cultural phenomena in the Francophone world. In French 102, students build on their cultural and linguistic proficiency in French through exercises in speaking, writing, listening and reading. Students learn how to talk about the weather, recount and describe past actions and events, ask questions, make suggestions, express opinions and emotions, order food and drink in a restaurant, and talk about where they live. They also learn about different provinces and regional cultures within France, rites and rituals in the Francophone world, and culinary traditions. Prerequisite: FRE 101
