Food(In)SecurityFrancophone

Did you know that French is the fifth most spoken language in the world? As such, proficiency in French is a vital tool for helping to solve the global hunger crisis. In this blended synchronous course, you will deepen your understanding of la francophonie and food (in)security by engaging in activities that reflect ACTFL’s Five Cs of communication, culture, comparisons, connections, and communities. By the end of the course, you will be able to explain the nature of la francophonie, define food (in)security, characterize the state of food (in)security in various Francophone countries/regions, and explain ways that food (in)security intersects with your fields of study. You will demonstrate your learning by completing real-world performance tasks such as interpreting authentic policy-oriented texts and composing policy memos.
