FREN 135 CM - The Art of the Short Story
This course will offer students the opportunity to perfect their reading comprehension and writing skills through the concentrated study of one genre: the short story. It provides an introduction to critical reading, literary interpretation and analysis, and students will learn to apply various literary approaches to the genre in their written and oral work. Focusing on the contributions of some of the major French and Francophone authors, we will look at point of view, narrative structure, character development, and other issues related to style and language in order to better appreciate the work of fictional creation. The course also allows students to expand their knowledge of French language and style—and express their creativity—by writing a short story of their own. All students wishing to enroll in French language courses must take the Language Placement Test. Only those students who have had no more than one semester of high school French are exempt from taking this examination; they may enroll in FREN 001 SC - Introductory French . The lower-division program in French studies is part of Northern Colleges’ Joint French Program. Conversation groups are conducted by a native French speaker for all lower-division courses; hours are to be arranged.FREN 044
