FRN 310 - French for the Professions

1 course unit

Using real-life cases and scenarios, this course introduces students to professional uses of French in France and the francophone world. Contacts with local professionals, both inside and outside of the classroom, allow students to explore the numerous possibilities of using their French linguistic and cultural knowledge beyond the academic arena (such as working for companies with international offices, volunteering with health organizations in French-speaking countries, providing translation services, and so forth). This course focuses on acquiring the proper writing, analytical, and oral presentational skills necessary to succeed in such careers. In addition to linguistic training, students create an on-line portfolio that will prepare them for a career using French. Offered in alternate spring semesters.
