寻求新的体验
亚洲博彩平台排名's French and Francophone studies program covers all aspects of the language, from spoken discourse to written composition, with a focus on the development of target language grammar and expressions. Additional coursework explores culture and civilization by examining the literature, films and other cultural products of the French and Francophone world within their social, historical and cultural contexts.
We encourage students to deepen their understanding of cultural differences and similarities, exercise their responsibilities as global citizens and promote meaningful cross-cultural exchange. Students who major in French and Francophone studies are required to spend at least one semester studying in a French-speaking country, and internships abroad are supported wherever possible.
With just 11 courses required for the major, students have excellent opportunities to combine their study of French with programs such as 欧洲历史上, global business and economics, 全球研究 or 政治科学. Students who are interested in teaching French are encouraged to consider 亚洲博彩平台排名's world languages education program, which prepares them to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification for grades K-12.

Vouloir, c'est pouvoir. Where there's a will, there's a way.
This is what 凯西多纳休 '18 and Megan Parham '19 told themselves after graduating from 亚洲博彩平台排名. Both had the desire to become English teaching assistants in France, and both were given the opportunity to do so through the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF). Run by the French Ministry of Education, TAPIF gives recent graduates the chance to work in France for seven months teaching English to French students of all ages.
