In this advanced workshop for both native French speakers and French as an additional language speakers, receive group and instructor feedback on a major writing project or three smaller projects you are working on. Submissions may be related to your work or personal interests, or could be designed using creative prompts provided by your instructor, such as drafting a professional article for publication, producing an opinion piece, writing meaningful work correspondence, creating a manuscript for a children’s book or writing press releases, book summaries or other high caliber writing products.
Work independently following instructor cues to submit three documents for review and discussion in three interactive Zoom sessions throughout the course. Learn from feedback shared with your classmates about their work and delve deeper into the process of writing and refining your writing in French.
Participants should have an advanced level of French language and grammar and be looking to receive feedback on structure, style, grammar and composition in a way that will make their writing stand out in a professional way.
How am I assessed?
You receive individualized feedback from your instructor and are assessed on small weekly writing assignments related to each module’s topics and themes. You also complete short interactive quizzes on the grammar and vocabulary topics presented each week.
Record of completion
A record of completion will be emailed to students who participate and satisfy the course requirements within two weeks of the course end date. Course completion means 80% attendance and/or 80% completion of mandatory assignments.
Expected effort
This course will require 2-3 hours of work each week or more, depending on the style of project you choose to work on.
Technology requirements
You’ll need access to a laptop or desktop computer or tablet, an email account, and internet access and an up-to-date web browser. For real-time classes, you’ll also need access to a video camera and microphone.

Course format
This course is 100% online and instructor supported. Writing assignments are done independently on an assigned schedule with set deadlines. Real-time feedback is given during three live Zoom sessions (one every three weeks) held at a time agreed upon by the instructor and students.
