FRE 103 - Beginning French III (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 103, students build on their cultural and linguistic proficiency in French through exercises in speaking, writing, listening and reading. Students learn how to articulate if-then statements, how to use future verb tenses, and how to use the conditional and subjunctive moods in French. Students also learn how to talk about travel plans in the future, lodging, physical health, the environment, civic responsibilities, technology, art forms, and French media. Prerequisite: FRE 102.
