THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT AT MILLS CAMPUS

Voyage dans l’écriture/ Journey in Writing (.5 unit)

Level Three is for students who have had significant previous instruction in French and who are already able to function independently in full immersion. Typically, students at this level demonstrate textual/writing ability beyond the sentence level. The individual components of the program are designed to complement one another, and all include intensive study of the language. Students will also arrive at a broader appreciation of French and Francophone cultures and literatures.

N.B. All four courses are required

This French composition course will systematically approach the necessary strategies for written expression while literary pieces/excerpts will be used to illustrate and explain the grammar studied. In a creative approach to process writing, learners will work in pairs/small groups to select a literary text of a particular genre (short story, poem, epistolary writing, theater, essay) and construct a story with embedded grammatical, rhetorical, and stylistic constraints.
