FLS 1313 - World Language for False Beginners

Credits: 3 hrs

This course is designed for students with some knowledge of a foreign language who feel that they need to go back to the basics because of inadequate instruction, intermittent language study in high school, long years of absence since the last world language course, fear of learning a world language, perceived language skill inadequacies. It will focus on an intensive review of the first year of the language highlighting, practicing, revising and consolidating the essential skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. This course will also serve as a bridge to the intermediate level of the language (FLS 2311 Intermediate I). A satisfactory grade in this course (“C” or better) will earn the student credit for FLS 1312 while providing a pathway to the intermediate level. This course will be available in any of the languages taught in the Department of World Languages and Cultures.
