In addition to completing viewing activities from feature-length films and online resources, students examine their personal goals and assess their strengths and weaknesses as they develop a job portfolio.

A Note to the Instructor: À la recherche d’un emploi: Business French in a Communicative Context is designed to be taught by non-business specialists. Its goal, in addition to preparing students linguistically and culturally for work in a Francophone business environment, is to engage students in the job search process. In doing so, the text causes students to draw on valuable crossover skills from their own culture and their native language. This course will work not just for business majors, but for any student studying French at the intermediate to advanced level, regardless of their major field of study.
