French

Prepare for a globalized world with experience in French language and culture

The Williams French program offers diverse courses in French and Francophone language, literature, and culture, whether you want to improve your spoken French, prepare for study abroad, or learn more about the rich traditions of French literature and cinema. You’ll further build your understanding of French language and culture at film festivals, poetry slams, political debates and discussion tables. Each year, the program hosts two Teaching Assistants from France who lead discussion sections and offer extracurricular programs in French, such as radio shows, dinners, French TV5 sitcom nights and weekend trips to Montréal.
