Students are placed in French courses according to their years of previous study. In general, one year of high-school French is equivalent to one semester at Los Angeles Pierce College. Native speakers are encouraged to enroll in French 004, 005, or 006. All French courses are taught primarily in the language. However; the instructor may choose to clarify certain concepts in English when necessary. By the end of the first year, students are able to use the basic structure of the language and the practical vocabulary learned to converse on everyday topics, as well as to read and write at an elementary level. French 003 combines with French 008 (Conversational French) to increase oral proficiency and also continues to raise the students' ability to read and write. In French 004, 005, and 006, students gradually acquire more ease in expressing themselves orally and in writing. Combining a review of grammar with discussions and analysis of literary texts of increasing difficulty, these courses give students a broad overview of France and French-speaking countries and prepare them to live abroad. INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Students are encouraged to participate in the International Education summer program of study in Paris whenever offered by Los Angeles Pierce College. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES French is adapted to careers in international business or trade, telecommunications, fashion, the gourmet food industry, medical research, international law, diplomacy and the foreign service, aero\u0002space technology, as well as in the arts and the humanities. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Students will demonstrate oral proficiency in the French language (at the appropriate level as measured by the ACTFL rubric). • Students will demonstrate proficiency in the grammar (structure, tense, mood and syntax) of the French language. • Students will demonstrate Intermediate High to Advanced Low proficiency in writing and reading comprehension in the French language. • Students will exhibit basic knowledge of the social, political, cultural and economic conditions in the countries in which the French lan\u0002guage is spoken.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:57e84e0e-b398-4955-a552-ed362db26cbd"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"1970-06-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1124.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1124.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Foreign Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach languages and literature courses in languages other than English.
