French Reading and Composition
FREN 211-011/081: French Reading and Composition (Credits: 3)
Edgard Sankara
This course includes reading and discussion of French and Francophone literature and the writing of compositions. The emphasis of this course is on improving critical reading skills and on writing formal academic essays. Therefore, a close reading of the text (in regard to character development, historical or social context, and narrative voice for example) encourages the student to move beyond the level of plot summary to analyze the works under study. Students will be introduced to literary movements such as Naturalism and Existentialism. Grammar review is incorporated to accompany the readings.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 107 with a minimum grade of A- or FREN 200 with a minimum grade of C.
