French Conversation aims to refine the skills learned during the first years of language study and to develop fluency and confidence in speaking at the intermediate level. The focus will be on developing oral proficiency and listening comprehension while reinforcing the mastery of basic grammatical forms and structures. Special emphasis will be placed on vocabulary building and on producing longer and more complex sentences. Using films, songs, and games as content, students will learn to carry on conversations with greater sophistication and authenticity. Credit will not be granted to native or heritage speakers of French. Prerequisite: FREN 1442 with a grade of C or better.
