All work in this class is conducted in French.

Students read a selection of works from different media and genres including short stories, poems, plays, letters, essays and films. Through close reading, students develop their analytical ability in French, paying particular attention to the different kinds of choices that writers make, and how these choices contribute to the making of meaning. Students also develop their skills as writers of academic French, focusing both on the content of their written work and on its form. By the end of the course, students are ready to meet the reading and writing requirements of upper division courses in the French department.
