FREN 1102 - Elementary French II

3 hours

Prerequisites: A grade of “C” or better in FREN 1101 or equivalent proficiency. French 1102 is the second semester of a two-semester series of French courses. This course is designed as the second half of the beginning level. Students are expected to know some French prior to taking it. Some students may already have taken French in high school, but lack sufficient competency to be able to enroll in intermediate courses. Others may have taken 1101. Students enrolled in this course are expected to have a previous working knowledge of basic French vocabulary and grammar structures. This is not a course for those who have never before studied French. Students will further their level of proficiency in French by participating in communicative activities. The first-year sequence in French is designed to develop the capacity to use the language in communicative situations. Equally important goals are the acquisition of the skills necessary for effective reading and writing in French. These objectives can be accomplished only through active participation, both in and out of class. The course will be taught in the target language.
