(real time availability for all sections)

Equivalent of FRENCH 101 and 102 taught in one term. This course introduces students to French language and culture with an emphasis on communication; the content-based approach integrates grammar with functional use. Students completing the course will be able to hold spontaneous conversations on everyday topics, understand the gist of one-way communications like those on radio and television, read for practical information and write simple correspondence and compositions on familiar topics.
