Course Description
This course is for students at an intermediate to advanced level of French. The oral part of the course (intermediate) helps students understand the main points of broadcasted programs, give oral presentations in various types of discourse such as informative, narrative, and argumentative, as well as participate in a debate and work on a group project. The written part of the course expects students to understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. Students learn to express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions; to use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes; and to produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices.

Course Description

This course is dedicated to the study of Dramaturgy of Romantic Drama, a genre that came to the forefront of French stages with the Romantic revolution of the 1830s. After the presentation of the major theoretical texts that founded Romantic Dramaturgy, it focuses on dramaturgical analysis of three major plays from the repertoire covering almost the entire 19th century, from the Golden Age of the 1830s with Hugo and Musset, to the late avatar represented by CYRANO DE BERGERAC in 1897. Theoretical knowledge is mobilized--the poetics of the genre, plot construction, the character system, the management of time and space--and applied to specific to specific works and themes. The transition from text to stage is also addressed with the help of video recordings of historical and modern stagings.
