FRE 155 - French for Conversation I


3 Credits
Lecture: 3

French for Conversation I enhances the student’s ability to communicate in French at a beginner level with a primary emphasis on speaking. Students will discuss a variety of relevant topics. Listening comprehension skills will also be improved using current French media. Reading and writing assignments will be used as a springboard for conversation.

Note: This is a supplemental course to FRE 151 and FRE 152. Therefore, there will be no systematic study of grammar. This course is not open to students whose first language is French. It does not fulfill a university foreign language requirement, but generally transfers as elective credit. This course requires basic reading and basic writing.
