FRE 131 - Elementary French in Review

5 Cr. Hrs.

A one-semester study of the basics covered in FRE 101-FRE 102 for students who have had some previous study of the language. Prerequisite: Two or more credits of high school French with an average grade of C or better. Successful completion of this course will complete the two-semester general education foreign language requirement. A student may exempt this course upon making a superior score on the French Placement Test and completing FRE 201 with a grade of C or better. Students may not earn credit for both FRE 131 and FRE 101/ FRE 102. Course materials include a language lab (aural/oral) component available through the campus intranet, which is to be completed outside class. Students with two or more high school language credits may take the Foreign Language Placement Test during orientation with the option of being placed at a higher level. Students with prior study in educational institutions in which French is the primary language are not allowed to receive credit for the elementary level of the native language. They should complete the 101-102 sequence of another language.
