FREN 1210–1220 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, writing, as well as analytical skills for grammar, with the goal of helping students to develop the necessary tools to become independent language learners.
