FR 211LEC—Languages, Texts, and Contexts of the French-Speaking World I

This course is part of the FR 211, FR 212 , FR 213 three-course module: these three courses can be taken in any order, they do not need to be taken sequentially. This particular course enriches specific intermediate-level skills for more advanced use: it targets description (people, objects, places), summary and narration of events in all time frames, and articulation and defense of an opinion in conversation and debate. Course goals are achieved through public speaking as well as reading, discussion and written analysis of texts like narrative prose, poetry, and also film from the French-speaking world.
