This advanced French class is dedicated to furthering students’ understanding of French language but most importantly to exposing students to Francophone cultures and current events. Class discussions are aimed to push students to examine their values and contrastthem with those of Francophone cultures. Students are expected to develop critical and complex ideas about cultural, moral and philo-sophical questions such as the formation of identity on a personal level but also on a national and international scale in a context of full immersion. The curriculum for this class is organized over two years, in a rotation that allows French IV and French V students to covernew topics.
