Overview of class
Using a multiliteracies framework, Advanced Grammar in Context aims at developing students' French language skills using the 4 knowledge processes of literacy pedagogy: experiencing, conceptualizing, analyzing, applying. Advanced French Grammar through texts uses the textbook Finalement, a textbook for upper-level undergraduate French students that uses a distinct, functional approach for advanced language instruction, blending grammar, conversation, and composition into an integrated learning experience. Students will develop critical thinking skills as they infer how the language works and acquire strategies to use the language effectively in oral and written practice."
