Pre-requisite: F313.  This is the second half of a two-course sequence
devoted to a comprehensive study of French grammar.  In order to stress
the written language, the course makes ample use of translation from English
as a means of improving expressive skills in French.  Five readings drawn
from modern short fiction are studied for their language interest and are
used as a basis for three compositions required during the course of the
semester.  Continued emphasis upon levels of style in written and oral
expression and to the distinctive differences of usage in French and English.

Required textbooks:
Harper's Grammar of French
Readings and Lessons to Accompany Harper's Grammar of French

Students should have access to a major French dictionary.  A good
French-English dictionary will also be useful.

The course will be conducted in French, as are all courses at this level.
In addition to the three compositions, there will be two hour-tests and a
final examination.
