Summer in Tours: FREN 2119: The Cultural Integration Workshop
During the first two weeks of the program, all students will enroll and partake in our Cultural Integration Workshop (FREN 2119). This intensive workshop meets daily for approximately three hours and aims to familiarize students with the linguistic and cultural realities of modern French society and equip them with the skills necessary to live in France. Program Directors Aaron Emmitte (Tours) and Boutheina Bridaa (Tours+Paris) as well as one additional Georgetown faculty member teach this course.
Additionally, all students will register for one additional course. This course number corresponds to the language classes taken at the Institut de Touraine. Use the following chart to determine your second course number:
