THE FRENCH CIRCLE WILL COORDINATE
THE FOURTH ANNUAL ART AND CULTURE PROGRAM TO BE HELD IN
APRIL 2005. (Details Le Petit Journal)
French Conversation and French Culture
Le Cercle Francais (The French Circle)
will sponsor classes in Conversational French and French Culture
starting October 09 for 12 weeks. The New Format
will use a new Text/Workbook “REPRISE” with
a focus on French conversation and communication, using new techniques
to motivate participants to use French in engaging meaningful situations.
This is good news for new participants to the class and a good
opportunity to start from chapter One.
The principal Work text is Reprise but Conversational French
will continue to use the book by Simone Oudot and David Gobert for reference,
dialogues, conversation exercises. The new publication REPRISE
will be an excellent tool for our class of conversation and culture.
REPRISE is mostly Communication and Culture but also provides
review and practice of all grammar topics. Reprise is organized
in Communication chapters and Culture chapters which cover, History, Art,
Music, Literature, Science and Technology of the French speaking World.
Each culture chapter includes a short self-test of the material covered.
REPRISE bridges grammar and communication with emphasis
on the authentic language use. It is practical, inviting and easy to use.
It will help you increase your confidence in using French to express your
own thoughts but also to comprehend those of French speakers and hopefully
to communicate in both speech and writing in a wide variety of setting.
Maurice Arfi, President of the French Circle will be
the instructor for fall 2004 and coordinator of the activities of the
French Circle which will include Festival du Beaujolais Nouveau and participation
and registration for one week 4th Annual Art and Culture program in April
2005. He will also assure the on-site coordination of the Cultural programs.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN. For more information on the French
Circle call today 608-8195 to discuss details about this

09, 2004 for 12 weeks. Seating is limited to 12 participants.
