School of Languages and Literatures, College of Arts

All language courses carry 0.50 credits. Please note that students with Ontario Grade 12 credit or its equivalent in French are not normally admitted into  FREN*1100 Basic French or FREN*1150. Francophone students usually start the program with second-year courses conditional upon approval by the Faculty Advisor. Students who are exempt from FREN*1200 French Language I and/or FREN*1300 French Language II will need to substitute higher level French course(s) in order to complete the required number of credits for their program. Under certain circumstances, 0.50 credits from other courses offered in the School of Languages and Literatures which contain material related to French Studies may be counted. Please see the faculty advisor for French Studies for more information. Students majoring in French are advised to take elective courses in another Romance language and in Latin.

It is also recommended that students include LING*1000 Introduction to Linguistics among the electives in order to derive the maximum benefit from their studies. Except where stated otherwise, literary texts are, at all levels, studied in the original language. Students registering in French courses are expected to have the appropriate academic background.

Studies in Quebec or Abroad

The French program encourages students to spend 1 or 2 semesters in a French-speaking province or country, or to pursue their studies in an immersion program at the university level. A letter of permission is required (see Chapter VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures). Students may also take advantage of federal-provincial programs such as the Explore program or the Ontario Rhone-Alps summer language course.

Notes:

1. Students are strongly urged to take at least 0.50 language credits each semester.
2. Students of French are encouraged to take advantage of the French residence on this campus. Applications for accommodation in the Maison Française should be made well in advance of registration.
3. FREN*1090, FREN*1100 Basic French I, FREN*1150, are not counted toward a specialization in French.
4. Native speakers of French (or non-francophone equivalent) will not normally be admitted into FREN*1200 French Language I and FREN*1300 French Language II. It is recommended they start their program with FREN*2020 France: Literature and Society, FREN*2060 Quebec: Literature and Society, FREN*2500 French Translation I, or FREN*2520 French Composition I with the approval of the Faculty Advisor.
