FREN 502 French II
This course is the second of two introductory French courses designed for graduate-level conservatory students. Students will practice and build upon basic vocabulary and grammatical structures developed in Beginning French I (Fall); through individual, small and large group work, students will continue to develop the four linguistic competencies – reading, writing, speaking, and listening – through exposure to and engagement with authentic multimedia artifacts (music, film, images, press) from the contemporary French-speaking world. Particular attention will be paid to grammar, speaking, and listening in order to develop communication skills and cultural literacies.
