FR 366: Business French – Language & Culture

In the FR 366 course, students were given the opportunity to learn about one particular aspect of the French culture. Vocabulary and professional type course work were heavily emphasized throughout the course. Below are samples of my best efforts of the different tasks given in this course.

The samples below are a collection of written artifacts of: a collection of professional correspondence, each one written with a different purpose in mind; an internship related CV and cover letter; and a business proposal for a service.

The goal of this project was to create a business proposal for a product or service to be offered to a French city. Topics covered in the proposal were in regards to barriers of entry into the market, manufacturing, operations management, and marketing.

This assignment gave an opportunity for students to partake in a mock interviewed for a job by a native speaker through the telecollaborative website: TalkAbroad.  The following sample is the beginning ten minutes of the interview.
