Sandro-Angelo De Thomasis

Prerequisite: LARTS 172 or equivalent previous study. This intensive intermediate French class is designed to provide students with an interactive and rewarding foreign-language learning experience as they continue to strengthen the French language skills in reading, listening, writing, and speaking, and intercultural competencies previously acquired in LARTS 171–172. Some of the salient features of this class involve a structured but diverse sequence of multi-modal activities designed to enhance interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication skills, as well as a focus on student objectives, learning autonomy, and self-assessment. By the end of this class, students will be able to handle a variety of communicative tasks in formal and informal contexts on topics related to personal relations, city life, social media, societal concerns, and current affairs.
