FREN 001. Elementary French 1

This course sequence (FREN 001-002) is intended for students who begin French in college. FREN 001 meets three days per week. Designed to impart an active command of the language, this course is taught in French and combines the study of grammar with listening, writing, reading and oral practice (speaking). The speaking practice and pronunciation workshops (FREN 013 courses: Atelier and Phonétique) are required attachments to this course. Introduction to literary and expository prose, films, and other authentic media are used to enhance students’ language acquisition skills as well as to develop an understanding of the diverse cultures of the French-speaking world. FREN 001 is offered in the fall semester only.

Prerequisite: Students who start in the FREN 001-002 sequence must complete FREN 002 to receive credit for FREN 001.
