Description

Having attained a solid base both in comprehension and communication strategies in French, students will have the opportunity to enhance their linguistic skills while learning about one of the most dynamic aspects of French culture: the French business world.

All participants will be exposed to in-depth differences between business practices and culture in France and those in North America.

The core lesson within each module of our textbook PARLONS AFFAIRES! (3rd Edition by R J BERG and HEATHER MCCOY) will discuss in great detail the latest trends in the French business milieu as well as the practical skills of telephone conversations, letter writing, interview techniques, writing your CV in French, and general cultural interactions in a business environment.

Typical examples of French companies will be studied and presented by students, using the internet as their research tool for the most up-to-date information. Videos, television excerpts, and articles will complement our text (no textbook is perfect!)

This class also includes the genuinely unique opportunity to collaborate face-to-face with native French members of the business English class located in Bordeaux, via Skype.
