French Acquiring and enjoying a foreign language facilitates global and personal communication; and it opens potential professional doors such as teaching and diplomacy. Our French I class fits well into the monthly coordinated World War I theme. The era's anti-war artists' subcultures in both the United States and in France achieved a high water mark in various genres (painting, dance); and both nations, key players, exited the War with increased world status: First day pronunciation explanations mirror Ante-Bellum communication differences between nations, cracking irregular verbs midstream is empowering, some might say "like surviving the trenches", and when short literary cultural texts are gently introduced at month's end, they will bring diverse World War I era images into focus. Both nations were key players in the explosive post-armistice geopolitics; and we feel that they share a responsibility to teach each generation the ways in which "The Great War" defined the 20th Century. |
