FREN 3
Elementary French (Third Quarter)

---

Course Description

The course will further develop the material presented in the first and second quarters of Elementary French. It will continue the introduction to the language and cultures of the French-speaking countries. French's basic speaking, listening, reading, and writing will be introduced and practiced within a cultural framework. The emphasis will be on language as an expression of culture.

Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate a somewhat consistent working command of essential vocabulary and language structures necessary to request and provide, orally and in writing, a more complex/abstract range of information relating to high-frequency situations in familiar contexts such as nature and environment, physical and mental wellness, subjective statements of advice, doubt, expectation, disapproval, and hypothetical scenarios.
• Derive meaning from longer, simple texts on familiar topics, relying on contextual clues to extract main ideas and supporting details.
• Compose comprehensible, more complex sentences about familiar topics to reflect a somewhat consistent working command of core vocabulary and language structures.
• Demonstrate an increasingly accurate grasp of social protocols and contributions of French-speaking cultures, by analyzing and comparing them to one's own cultures.
