French - Second Year II

This year-long course sequence is designed for those who have already studied at a 'Second Year' level or beyond.  All classes are conducted entirely in French and are fast paced with interactive communications that bring up skills quickly and sharpen proficiency. Primary course objectives focus on increasing communicative skills through grammatical review paired with cultural study and readings.  Students will learn to express themselves clearly, develop fluidity, expand listening comprehension and conversational skills in discussions with native speakers.  This quarter the class will focus on aspects of performance and theater through study of selected play excerpts and a novel.  Students will increase their knowledge of literature, drama and absurdist plays, plus hone verbal skills through aloud readings and role play.  Class activities engage students in lively practices and performances of selected scenes, plus watching videos to analyze mise en scene and characterization.
