Description: Business French introduces students to the linguistic, cultural, and professional skills necessary to operate effectively in Francophone business contexts. Using the textbook Affaires globales (Reisinger et al., 2018) as a foundation, the course emphasizes vocabulary, communication strategies, and cultural practices relevant to the international workplace. Students engage in role-plays, case studies, and simulations to develop proficiency in professional correspondence, meetings, negotiations, and presentations, while also analyzing current business issues in the Francophone world. Taught in French.
