Our Plan For FREN 297 French Language/Culture Abroad-Paris January 2018
This course consists of a 12-day trip to France from January 2-13, 2018. It has three parts: pre-trip orientation developing a language portfolio which includes navigating the group to Parisian sites and presenting in French once there finalizing the portfolio which integrates everything the student did while in France. The schedule in France includes both iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower and lesser known ones like the Institut du Monde Arabe (Arab World Institute) for a broad understanding of French culture and a range of opportunities to practice the language. It includes travel to Normandy to the D-Day Beaches and other WWII sites. It includes a visit to Versailles and other châteaux around Paris. We'll be staying at a spacious loft apartment through Airbnb. It's a renovated carpentry studio in the 20th arrondissement ( an administrative district of certain large French cities, in particular Paris). Stay tuned for student-created posts
