Students translate current non-literary texts exclusively from English to French. Texts are drawn mostly from American newspapers. Material required: course package and bilingual Oxford/Hachette French dictionary. Practice in translation culminates in an individualized final written project (30%).

  • 009 205: French for Reading/Research

    2.00 Credits
    University of Iowa

    This is the first of a two-semester sequence of courses, designed exclusively to develop reading proficiency in French. It primarily serves doctoral students from a variety of disciplines who need to be able to handle research materials available only in French. It is, however, open to serious undergraduates (particularly those headed for graduate school) who want to develop their reading skills intensively and quickly. The course presupposes no knowledge of French. It covers all aspects of French grammar and builds a general, basic vocabulary that is probably adequate for reading in the scientific fields where French and English writing use largely the same cognates. Readings and exercises are drawn from all of the disciplines--humanities, sciences, and social sciences--but are very limited in length and are designed to build vocabulary and understanding of sentence structure. Work for the course includes daily preparation and review, two midterms, and a final exam.

  • 009 206: French for Reading/Research

    2.00 Credits
    University of Iowa

    This is the second of a two-semester sequence of courses, designed exclusively to develop reading proficiency in French. It primarily serves doctoral students from a variety of disciplines who need to be able to handle research materials available only in French. It is, however, open to serious undergraduates (particularly those headed for graduate school) who want to develop their reading skills intensively and quickly. The course supposes that the student has already been exposed to all aspects of French grammar, sentence structure, and brief readings through 009:205, or a comparable two-to-four semester undergraduate course sequence. In the first third of the course, those aspects of French grammar that are most crucial for reading are reviewed. In the second third, students read short selections drawn from a variety of humanistic fields, in the original French. In the latter third of the course, students bring in their own selections from books and articles in their fields, which serve as the class texts for the rest of the semester. By the end of the course, students should be able to read or translate complex French prose accurately, without the help of a dictionary. Work for the course includes daily preparation and review, two midterms, and a final exam.
