This course features intensive work on French grammar, with emphasis on the acquisition of basic active skills (speaking, reading, writing and vocabulary building). We will be using the multimedia program, Totem, which employs only authentic French, allowing students to use the language colloquially and creatively in a short amount of time. Three hours a week for explanation and demonstration, plus small sections with French assistants. This course prepares students for FREN 103. For students without previous training in French.

This course will be taught synchronously through Zoom, with classroom materials digitized and made available through Moodle. Written compositions will be turned in and collaboratively edited with Google Docs.

Fall semester: Visiting Lecturer Tapley and Assistants. Spring semester: Senior Lecturer Uhden and Assistants.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
