French III is an intermediate language and culture course aimed at improving students' comprehension and expression in French. We will continue to reinforce language skills acquired at the beginning levels (French I and II) and work towards building fluency in the language. The course targets work on pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and oral expression in the framework of discussion of short, simple texts, films, and music. Activities will include debates, presentations, dialogues, vlogs, and discussion of films, songs, news articles, or other short written documents from contemporary French and Francophone sources.

Prerequisites: FRN2200 and/or FRN4610 or equivalent proficiency as demonstrated through a placement test or by instructor's permission. Not open to fluent speakers of French.
