Theme-based bridge courses: A gateway to linguistic proficiency
ACTFL
(2010)
Abstract
Based on the 2007 MLA report’s call for more integrative approaches to L2 language/literature courses, we present the curricula of two theme-based French bridge courses. These courses simultaneously develop students' advanced language proficiency and explore literary, cultural, and sociolinguistic themes through an analysis of various textual genres and linguistic registers.
