In this course, French films are used as linguistic and cultural textbooks. While honing their language skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing), students will focus their critical skills on selected cultural topics (food, clothes, history, gestures, etc.). Students will create film trailers that reflect their understanding of the French linguistic and cultural realities. Films include:
On connait la chanson (Resnais, 1997)
Vers la tendresse (Diop, 2016)
A common website and in-class presentations will allow students to share and discuss their findings. Intermediate Low. Conducted in French.
