FRENCH 232 uses feature-length French-language films to explore aspects of French history, culture, and society that include: the French colonization, immigration and multiculturalism, the French education system, socioeconomic differences, family and personal relationships, and identity.
Throughout the term, students will be expected to review and learn various grammatical elements and vocabulary in order to participate in classroom activities and discussions related to assigned films and readings.
Linguistically, we will focus on narrating in the past, discussing the future, hypothesizing, expressing opinions and reactions, avoiding repetition, linking ideas, and composing more sophisticated sentences.
