Sewanee Summer-in-France Program
Sewanee Summer-in-France offers an opportunity for a limited number of students to live with a French family and to study the language, culture, and literature of France on site during a five-to-six-week summer period. This program is particularly appropriate for students of French who are unable to go to France for a semester or a full year. Two full-course credits will be obtainable through the French 320 and French 321 offerings described below. These courses contribute to the minor in French or French Studies.
French 320. Advanced Language Abroad.
A course designed to increase oral and written proficiency by offering students the opportunity to live and study in France for six weeks in June and July. French 320 is usually taken in tandem with French 321. Prerequisite: French 300 or equivalent and permission of the department. Credit: full course, Pass/Fail grading. Staff.
Site: the town of Hyères in Mediterranean Provence.
French 321. Studies in Culture and Literature Abroad.
Complementary study of French language and civilization within the framework of Sewanee’s Summer-in-France program, with emphasis upon cultural readings and literary topics which should be of particular interest when explored on site in France. Prerequisite: French 300 or equivalent and permission of the department. Credit, full course, regular grading. Glacet.
Site: the town of Hyères; excursions to other areas.
Upon completion of the two courses in Hyères, there will be travel to the Loire Valley, to Chartres, and finally to Paris for the last phase of the program (students may stay on for independent travel if they so desire). The comprehensive cost of the program will be competitive with that of other Summer-in-France study enterprises.
