Section Information for Fall 2017
This course is designed for students who want to practice and improve their spoken French, while adapting their skills to varied communicative situations and addressing different contemporary issues linked to the francophone world. Students will enhance their speaking skills through an array of specifically designed activities. By the end of the semester, students will be able to hold short and long conversations in both formal and informal settings in the French language.
In addition to acquiring argumentative skills, students will also gain basic knowledge of articulatory phonetics in order to refine their pronunciation and diction in French. Therefore, by the end of the semester, students will not only better contrast French phonemes and their variations to that of their own native language, but also transcribe and read sentences using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
