During this program students complete two Memorial University French courses at an accelerated pace (French 2300 and French 2900) while living with a French family. Classes in Saint-Pierre take place at the Francoforum, a specialized teaching facility, and are supervised by a Director appointed by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures. All travel and accommodation arrangements are made through the Francoforum.

Prerequisite:

The prerequisite for admission is successful completion of French 1502 with a minimum mark of 65% or permission of the Head of the Department, following written application. Selection for the program is on a competitive basis and takes into account both results in French courses and general university standing.
