In addition to a review of all skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, as well as cultural literacy), Berkeley's language program is unique in placing early emphasis on issues of rhetoric, organization, and style in students' spoken and written communication.
Many of the communicative skills our students acquire in French transfer directly into other courses, helping them to succeed in those areas. Class size is kept small to allow for individual attention and maximum opportunity for practice.
