La France contemporaine: pourquoi l'etudier et comment l'enseigner?
Article Abstract:
American students are less interested in studying French than other foreign languages and question and language and culture's utility in their future professional lives. This tendency can be countered by broadening French courses to include French culture and the contribution France has made to the world in sciences, in commerce and in the integration of Europe. The text of the article is in French.
