2023-2024 Academic Catalog

FR 250 French Immersion Abroad (GD)

This program consists of three levels of proficiency: FR 150 for students with no prior knowledge or experience with French, FR 250 for students who have successfully completed FR 102 or have the equivalent knowledge or experience with French, and FR 350 for students who have successfully completed FR 204 or have the equivalent knowledge or experience with French. The program offers the student the opportunity to become immersed in the French language while experiencing the cultural and societal conditions of the country where the program takes place. The methods used in this program are intended to foster the acquisition of French both in and out of the classroom. The acquisition will take place through students' and teachers' active interaction with the language and daily life in the host country. Students will read, write, and speak French on a daily basis and will be required to analyze social, political, and cultural aspects of their surroundings. Through this process, students also will have the opportunity to develop new perspectives with regard to peoples of other cultures and a point of comparison upon which to base questions of human existence.
