Summer in Tours: FREN 119: The Cultural Integration Workshop
During the first two weeks of the program, all students will enroll and partake in our Cultural Integration Workshop (FREN 119). 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 Amandine Andrade (Tours+Paris) as well as one additional Georgetown faculty member teach this course.
