Course Description

Program Description We express ourselves through our language, and our language also gives us the form and structure to shape the very ideas and feelings we experience. To speak several languages easily and fluently is thus to be granted access to a complex and rich world. Study French at UNB and you’ll deepen your mastery of French and encounter complex Francophone cultures from around the world. You’ll strengthen your writing, speaking, and translation skills, and study the poetry, prose, and films of writers and directors from nearby Acadie and from around the world. In a bilingual province and a bilingual country, fluency in both official languages is essential. By studying in Canada’s only official bilingual province, you’ll gain a unique learning experience as you immerse yourself in both English and Francophone cultures simultaneously. Hands-on learning Opportunities to study at universities in France, including the Universite de Poitiers Exposure to famous Francophone writers, poets, and novelists through UNB-hosted events and readings Skills you will acquire: Critical thinking Understanding of how language shapes culture Understanding complex cultures Critical thinking Written and oral communication Translation Research and assessment Organizational Interpersonal
