Goals
French 202 is an intermediate-level language course designed to answer the needs
of students coming from varying backgrounds who hope to review thoroughly and expand
on the grammar taught in our 100-level classes. French 201 aims at the further development
of the students' four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) up to an
intermediate level of proficiency. Emphasis is put on reviewing grammar and experiencing
the language in its cultural contexts, through the use of a multi-media approach
relying not only on a grammar textbook and on grammar and vocabulary exercises,
but also on the web, current newspaper and magazine clippings, recent radio and
television programs.
French 202 is taught through an experiential methodology, which entails exclusive
use of French in the classroom, emphasis on communicative skills, interactive and
contextualized use of grammar and daily practice outside of class.
Homework
There is a written or oral homework assignment every day. Students may also be working
