French spoken in Quebec has a rich historical background and each area has colorful expressions and accents worth analyzing. It is important to stimulate a clear understanding of regionalized languages to facilitate communication and avoid misconceptions and prejudices. With the use of movies, songs, literature and various cultural documents, students think critically to broaden their perspectives on Francophone culture. Taught in French by Prof. Nicolas Fortin.
FREN 211-1 French Culture Abroad (3 hours)
To appreciate Quebec culture, it is important to visit history starting from New France to its modernity. By exploring literature, television, cinema, music, humor and direct interaction with the historical parts of the city, students can achieve a better understanding of the French heritage in North America. Connections with Acadians and Cajuns prove important in understanding the overall impact of France on the territory. Field trips such as the Plaines d'Abraham, the Old Quebec City district, museums, Montreal and the countryside help to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural bases. Guest lecturers working in business, arts and education are invited to explain their personal perspectives on Quebec cultural, political and economical aspects.
Taught in French by Prof. Nicolas Fortin.
