FRAN 301 French and Francophone Memory and Identity
FRAN 301 uses a content-based approach to investigate French and Francophone cultural practices, and perspectives through a cross-century study of historical events, periods, movements, figures, and/or places of importance to modern-day debates on French and/or Francophone identities. Using the course's content as the subject of academic inquiry, it also develops the four skills of communication in French (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), with a focus on real-time interpersonal and presentational oral production of cohesive paragraphs featuring narration and description in all tenses and on a variety of increasingly abstract and academic contexts. This course roughly targets the ACTFL Advanced-Mid rating. Teaching methodologies may include task-based, project-based, and other experiential learning assignments. Satisfies Diversity Requirement due to extensive theory and practice in cross-cultural comparison. Taught in French.
Prerequisite
