Reading is a great way to expand your knowledge of French. You will use a contemporary French novel as a vehicle for improving your language skills. You are invited to read 10-15 pages in advance for each class, choose a short passage to read out loud, and propose a translation for a group discussion. Unclear passages are used to review language points (grammar and vocabulary). You will be asked to sum up a paragraph or passage, which we have worked on, in French to focus on content.
