Description:
| This three-week, three-credit (FREN 299) immersion program combines classroom work, extracurricular excursions, and a family stay. The three principal aims of the experience are to continue language learning in an intensive format, familiarize students with an area of France (Montpellier) that has been romanticized in the American psyche, and strengthen students’ cross-cultural knowledge and sensibility in such a way that their work on campus takes on new meaning.
The program is designed for students with intermediate competency in French. This might be the intermediate student eager for a first study-abroad experience, students who would like to advance more quickly in the UMCP French program, or students who have had time off from French but would like to become re-immersed. Teaching will be adapted to student needs. | |
