As Michel de Montaigne wrote:

"Learning to speak, read, write, and think a new language teaches us to knock off our rough corners by rubbing our minds against other people's."

The French and Francophone Studies program puts Montaigne's advice to good use.

In French and Francophone Studies, students pursue their interests in French language, as well as in French and Francophone literature, film, and culture while learning to express themselves clearly and effectively when they speak and write. Students develop strong analytical and interpretive skills as they discover the historical depth and geographical breadth of literary and cultural expression in French, enhance their sensitivity to cultural difference, and deepen their understanding of the linguistic, cultural, and political complexities of the French-speaking world in Europe, North America, Africa, and the Caribbean.

In this era of increasing globalization, students must have strong skills in the analysis and interpretation of language and culture. We teach French language and French and Francophone culture at all levels, which provides students with a strong foundation as they pursue literary and cultural studies of French-speaking countries throughout the world.

Core Skills

1. An advanced proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, writing and knowledge of French and Francophone cultures;
2. The ability to analyze, evaluate and interpret works in verbal sources (such as literature, newspapers, critical articles, essays, etc.) and in other media (film, painting, photographs, music, etc.);
3. The ability to explain how cultural differences help determine political, economic and social institutions.

Knowledge

1. An understanding of the principal historical events and foundational cultural tenets (including notions drawn from politics, literature, sociology, philosophy, etc.) that shape France and the Francophone world;
2. An understanding of how creative works in French reflect the past and present, announce future developments, and influence world culture;
3. An understanding of the instrumental role that language (written and oral production of all types) plays in the formation of cultures, histories, and identities of the French and Francophone world;
4. An appreciation of the cultural and linguistic diversity in the French-speaking world.

Social Justice

A panoply of French writers and philosophers have played a fundamental role in the evolution of our notions of social justice, freedom, equality, individual fulfillment, and the common good. By exploring these ideas in a variety of French and Francophone contexts, students analyze the different ways in which these concepts have developed and changed over time and across cultures.

In order to graduate, students must be able to function at an intermediate level in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a foreign language. They may satisfy this requirement in several ways:

• A score of 620 or higher on the SAT II language exam, 4 or higher on an Advanced Placement exam in language or literature, or 5 or higher on the International Baccalaureate Higher Levels Exam. We encourage students to continue studies in our department (please see below to choose a course at the appropriate level).
• A passing score on the Proficiency Exam that shows you have gained an intermediate-level proficiency in French. Please contact Professor Hollie Harder (harder@brandeis.edu) to make arrangements to take the Proficiency Exam.
• OR, study of a language at Brandeis. The completion of a 30-level course with a passing grade satisfies the language requirement.

Students with further questions about the language requirement should contact the Director of Language Programs, Professor Hollie Harder.

Students considering a French and Francophone Studies major or minor should complete the language requirement as soon as possible.

• After students complete a 30-level French language course, they are advised to enroll in FREN 104b, the first course in the sequence that counts toward the minor.
• Students who scored 620–710 on the French SAT II exam, 4 on the French Advanced Placement exam, or 5 on the International Baccalaureate Higher Levels Exam are usually advised to enroll in FREN 105a.
• Students who scored 720 or above on the French SAT II exam, 5 on the French AP exam, or 6 or higher on the International Baccalaureate Higher Levels Exam should enroll in FREN 106b, the first course in the sequence that counts toward the major.
• Normally, students should take FREN 106b, FREN 110a, and/or FREN 111a before taking courses numbered above FREN 111.

Students interested in learning more about the major or minor are encouraged to speak with the French and Francophone Studies Undergraduate Advising Head.
