FREN 2204 - French IIB: Culture

The aim of this course is to develop a deeper understanding and a critical appreciation of France's rich cultural heritage through the study of texts and other cultural artefacts. The course is also designed to develop linguistic skills, taking into account the problems associated with the apprenticeship of reading and analysis in French. Students completing this course will therefore benefit from enhanced reading skills, vocabulary acquisition and writing skills. In 2009, the topic for study is Varietes du francais (the history of the French language and its varieties in use throughout the world today).
