French 102 is a five-day a week, second-semester elementary French course designed to immerse students as much as possible into French language and culture.  The course is taught in the target language, and stresses communicative competence through the acquisition of high-frequency grammar and vocabulary.  The textbook, Débuts, works with a feature-length French film called Le Chemin du Retour in order to create a meaningful and culturally relevant context for the grammatical and thematic structures studied.  The film, by using visual as well as auditory cues, is able to illustrate both verbal and non-verbal French communication systems to students.
