French Placement Exam Monday, August 25,
2008 8:00am
Hahn 101
Any entering student who has previously studied and
plans to take French must take the appropriate placement
examination to ascertain the appropriate course level.
This includes students who have received Advanced
Placement or International Baccalaureate credit in the
language. Scores on the placement exam do not
fulfill the language requirement. |
According to Wikipedia, French is spoken by nearly 200
million people worldwide as either the first or a secondary
language, and its influence reaches far beyond Europe into
Africa, North America and elsewhere. A French major can open
up a world of dynamic career possibilities and cultural
experiences.
Pomona students have the opportunity to study with
distinguished faculty members from the time they enter the
College as freshmen; all faculty members in Romance
Languages teach both lower-division language classes and
literature classes. Enrollment in language classes is
limited, ensuring that all students participate actively in
class discussions. Courses range from Contemporary French
Films to Les Moralistes-Public/Private Selves.
Our students are as multidisciplinary as our faculty; many
take double majors in Spanish or French and another field.
Students graduating with majors in French or Spanish in
recent years have been accepted into some of the nation's
most prestigious graduate programs in those fields,
including Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and Brown.
Pomona's program in Romance Languages is enhanced by a
state-of-the-art multimedia laboratory, the Foreign Language
Resource Center, with integrated
computer, audio, and visual components, including
interactive video disks and computer-assisted language
programs. Students can also improve their command of French
and Spanish by residing in the Oldenborg Center for Foreign
Languages and International Relations and participating in
the programs there, which include daily language tables at
lunch, frequent study breaks featuring cultural programming,
and a foreign language film series. Most students also spend
at least a semester at one of Pomona's Study Abroad
programs. |
