The Summer Language Institute is offering two French course options in summer 2018:
Summer Intensive Elementary French
| Dates | Days and Times | Credits | Tuition and Fees | Instructor(s) |

Summer Elementary French is an eight-week course which helps students build a solid foundation in the basic patterns of written and spoken French and their use in everyday communication. Attention will be given to all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Completing this sequence is the equivalent of FREN 10100-10200-10300 during the regular academic year, and it will fulfill the College language competency requirement for UChicago students.
Reading French for Research Purposes
| Dates | Days and Times | Credits | Tuition and Fees | Instructor(s) |
| June 19-July 26 | T &Th 9:00am-11:50am | 100 units | $3,916 | Isabelle Faton |
This intensive course is designed to help students with little or no background in French develop the reading comprehension skills necessary for academic research. To that end, students will work on grammar, vocabulary, and reading strategies. Students will read a range of scholarly texts, a number of which will be directly drawn from their respective areas of research. Some prior experience with French highly recommended. This course will culminate in UChicago's Academic Reading Comprehension Assessment in French.
