FRE 3010 - Culture & Civilization through Correspondence & Conversation
Credit(s): 3
This course is intended for students at the intermediate level and those wishing to complete a minor in French. Based on the Cultura Project at MIT, this class pairs NVU-Johnson students with Canadian students studying English at their cegep in Terrebonne, Quebec. An email correspondence over the semester allows students to explore a wide range of topics such as food, family, current issues, holidays, heroes and health care. NVU-Johnson students write in English and Quebec students write in French. This native language use on questionnaires and in correspondence offers cultural nuances to be fully expressed. This cross-cultural approach offers learners a chance to observe, compare and analyze similar materials from two target cultures. Within the classroom setting, students discuss their reactions and observations all in French, the target language. A home-stay immersion experience in Quebec may be included.
