FREN 3110 Special Topics. (3) on demand<br />
Topics will change, so students may repeat this course for credit.<br />
Prerequisite: FREN 2103 or permission of instructor<br />
In the past, these topics have included the following:<br />
Translation and Reading in French<br />
Translation and Reading skills. This course concentrates exclusively on the cultivation of<br />
reading and translation abilities in the French language. Classes are in English, and all<br />
work is from French to English.<br />
Business French<br />
The trend of internationalizing business and services forces companies to cope with<br />
cultural differences inside a company and when sending executives and their families<br />
abroad. In a foreign country, there are more than language barriers to overcome. Methods<br />
that work at home can lead to failure abroad. Likewise, the most competent manager can<br />
damage an operation if not properly prepared for his or her stay in the host country. This<br />
course is designed to help you cross cultural boundaries, whether you are planning on<br />
living abroad as a student, an intern, or an employee. It is not meant to be a technical<br />
business course, but rather a course that will help you understand what culture shock is<br />
and how you can prepare yourself for it.<br />
French Philosophers<br />
An introduction to French philosophers and the different philosophical currents that have<br />
shaped French thought and the world at large.<br />
