Program Description:

The French Studies program focuses on the study of language, linguistics and literature while exploring francophone culture around the world. We keep our classes small to give you plenty of opportunity to speak French and interact with professors and classmates. You'll be taught oral and written expression and aural and written comprehension — aided and guided by tutorial assistants from France and Quebec.

The linguistics program exposes you to the many branches of linguistics (syntax, semantics, phonetics, sociolinguistics etc.) through a variety of practical and theoretical approaches. You will have the opportunity to study linguistics as applied to translation and to second language teaching and to gain a better understanding of the varieties of French spoken throughout the world.

The literature program opens doors to the literatures and cultures of the francophone world with a particular focus on French and French Canadian literature. You will develop analytical skills through the analysis of texts using various theoretical and philosophical approaches.
