French III (Standard)

The aim of this course is to continue the student’s linguistic development. Students at this level work toward proficiency in French that allows them to engage in conversation about familiar topics; understand the essential points of spoken speech; read and comprehend such materials as newspaper articles, short stories, and Le Petit Prince; and write summaries, descriptions, and social correspondence. They also continue to develop their cultural awareness and their understanding of the French speaking world.

Prerequisite: French II (Standard) or departmental approval.
