Foreign Language 3: Intermediate French

Students are required to complete at least three foreign language proficiency levels, with the aim of achieving at least Limited Working Proficiency (based on FSI Absolute Language Proficiency Ratings) in Mandarin, French, or Spanish. As a follow-on to Foreign Language 2, this final, required module provides a degree of language skill sufficient for limited working proficiency, such that students who complete the course can (1) satisfy routine social demands and limited work requirements, (2) express opinions on abstract/cultural matters in a limited way or offer advice within a known area, and understand instructions or public announcements, (3) understand routine information and articles, and the general meaning of non-routine information within a familiar area, and (4) write letters or make notes on familiar or predictable matters.
