In this course, students continue to improve their oral and written skills and to deepen their knowledge of the French and francophone cultures. Students learn to significantly expand their expressive repertoire, particularly in the areas of past, future, and hypothetical narration. The class focuses on developing sustained, extemporaneous communication, including circumlocution and the art of storytelling through juxtaposition of tenses. Students also strengthen their ability to speak without redundancy by distinguishing among different pronouns in French. Authentic cultural texts (readings, music, film) and project-based assessments complement the curriculum. Prerequisite: French 2 or recommendation of Department
