FRENCH IMMERSION: INTERMEDIATE I in Summer 2025 (FR2005I-3WK1)

This intermediate course reinforces and expands students’ ability to express themselves, defend an opinion, and debate with others. Special attention is paid to increasing students' ability to form complex sentences, to express attitudes, wishes, necessity, doubt, emotions, to link ideas and to speculate. It aims at the B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, while allowing a first-hand introduction to French culture both in and outside the classroom. The French immersion program includes daily coffee and croissant breaks, offering opportunities for casual conversation, and two Friday afternoon faculty-led tours of towns near Paris, including dinner.
