French Literary Masterpieces on Screen (CLAC 0.5)
FREN 253F
Fall 2025
Section: 01  

This CLAC course is linked to the FYS RL&L 252F: French Literary Masterpieces in Translation and on Screen. In this CLAC course, conducted entirely in French, students will have the opportunity to read the texts in their original language, and to hone their French speaking, listening, and writing skills. Assignments will include written commentaries (i.e., close readings) and short presentations on the material. As for the films, students in the CLAC course will be expected to watch and discuss French-language adaptations. This CLAC course is intended for students who have at minimum an advanced intermediate level of French. Learners of French as well as native and heritage speakers of French are welcome. Credit: 0.5.

Regardless of students' previous exposure to the French language, including AP and IB courses, students interested in the CLAC course must take Wesleyan's French placement test and score into at least FREN 215 (Advanced Intermediate French). Should they place into FREN 215, they must enroll in this class in order to be eligible for the CLAC course. Students who place into FREN 112 or below will not generally be eligible due to the degree of difficulty, though students may submit a petition. Moreover, all students must meet with the instructor before enrolling in the CLAC course for an oral comprehension and expression evaluation. This CLAC course, in combination with the FYS in English, will count toward the French Studies Major or Minor, as well as the Romance Studies Major.
