    Description
    Introduces the fundamental elements of the language (listening, speaking, reading, writing and culture) with emphasis on language production, grammar, syntax, acquisition of a practical vocabulary, and exposure to French-speaking cultures. "The French language has been a key instrument of imperialism. We will explore accompanying issues of power as they relate to race, ethnicity, class, gender, and language.” NOTE: Not open for credit to students who have had two or more years of high school French with a minimum grade of B within the last three years or to students who have completed FREN 031 and/or 032.
