FRN 304, 306 - Approaches to Textual Analysis

1 course unit

This course emphasizes formal writing skills necessary for advanced courses in French, including critical analysis, information literacy, and research techniques. Advanced grammar study, translation, and vocabulary building are additional aspects of this course, since many of the errors students at this level make in their speaking/writing stem from inaccurate translations from English. Throughout the semester, students will be reading and discussing authentic French and Francophone cultural texts in order to improve upon their ability to engage with and meaningfully respond to the different writing genres studied in the course.
