French plays an important role in Canada. As one of the country's official languages, French is used in government, business, education, culture, and all aspects of everyday life. French is used in the francophone world more broadly, too, not only in France but also elsewhere in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Start learning this powerful language or build upon your knowledge.
Trent offers a major in French Studies, and you may choose to enter this program if you have the equivalent of Grade 12 4U/M French from an Ontario secondary school. It is also possible to enter the major (or minor) in French Studies by upgrading your French in your first year, depending on your background.
The TCLL offers French at three different levels: complete beginners, elementary, and intermediate. See the Course Listing for complete details of these courses, as well as other courses in French language, literature, and culture.
A placement test is required to enter any of the courses above. When you attempt to register in one of these courses as your first Trent French courses, you will be given instructions in how to take the test. Registration in the recommended courses for those with Grade 12 U/M French (FREN 1101H and 1102H) does not require the placement test, and these courses are open to major and non-majors alike.
All of our French-language courses stress the development of both oral and written skills and make extensive use of multimedia teaching and learning approaches.
Learn a new language. Prepare for the future. Start right here. Now is the time to complement and augment your degree – whether you’re planning for your first year of study or your final year. Through the Trent Centre for Language and Linguistics, you can learn a new language (from scratch!), build on what you already know, or delve into the scientific study of language with linguistics.
And as you learn, you’ll be building your résumé, preparing for the future, and all the while opening yourself up to the new perspectives and possibilities that come being able to communicate with more people in more places, at home and around the world. Without setting foot off campus (but opportunities to do so exist!), you will be exposed to new cultures as you immerse yourself in language learning.
Choose to learn American Sign Language (ASL), Arabic, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Russian or Spanish. Learn an Indigenous language – Mohawk or Nishnaabemowin – through our cooperation with the Indigenous Studies department. Explore the ancient world by taking a course in Latin or ancient Greek.
Or pursue the Option in Languages or the Option in Linguistics, to complement your major(s). These options will provide you with an introduction to linguistics and a chance to focus on one or more languages.
Did you know that there are almost 8 million French speakers in Canada? Although approximately 85% of them live in Quebec, there are over a million who reside in other parts of the country, which means if you live in Canada, you probably come into contact with the language on a daily basis.
Our General French courses give engaging, interactive lessons using market-leading materials. You’ll improve your day-to-day communication by covering interesting and relevant themes as your teacher uses a variety of resources. Methods to offer varied yet structured classes.
Learning a new language is literally embarking on a journey. Despite the excitement that it generates at first, we can quickly face discouragement before the efforts required to start noticing results. This is a normal feeling.
These programs are available all year round. The duration of the programs varies from 1 to 52 weeks and students can start on any Monday of the year. All the French courses consist of 7-levels, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Students develop all four skills.
