Business French

By popular demand, the business school has instituted Le Coach, a professional development program to provide the fundamentals of business French.

With Le Coach, students are encouraged to converse in a business context to improve their French skills. They discuss current business trends, day-to-day business tools like presentations and phone calls, and job-seeking techniques, all in the language of Molière. Vocabulary and grammar are integrated into the classes, but the focus is on communication skills. For more information, go to www.frenchcoach.org
