FRN 303 ,304 - Advanced French Conversation & Composition

Institution:

Muhlenberg College

Subject:

Description:

A continuation of FRN 301, 302 French Conversation & Composition but with more emphasis on formal writing skills: description, narration, opinion, analysis. Through the study of examples of each genre, students learn the stylistic and linguistic devices appropriate to each before writing their own essays. Advanced grammar study, translation, and vocabulary building are additional aspects of this course since many of the errors students at this level make in their speaking/writing stem from inaccurate translations from English. During the second half of the course, students will read and discuss a contemporary novel dealing with family and social issues in contemporary France for conversational practice as well as an examination of the genres studied in the first half of the course. Prerequisite: FRN 301 or 302 French Conversation & Composition Meets general academic requirement W when offered as 304.
