FREN 1210– FREN 1220 is a two-semester sequence of courses designed to provide a thorough grounding in French language and an introduction to intercultural competence as preparation for real-world application or eventual work in literary and/or cultural studies. Classes provide context- and genre-specific practice in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, as well as analytical skills for grammar, with the goal of helping students to develop the necessary tools to become independent language learners.
