Welcome to the Department of French.
Learning a foreign language is a journey of discovery. The focus of the Department of French is to develop the basic language skills. Students are also initiated to French literature through the study of simple literary texts. They also learn to appreciate the French Culture. We inculcate in the students human values, leadership qualities through curriculum. The Department is keen on revamping the syllabus once in three years and the recent French manuals are introduced. The assessment of spoken French is an essential component of the testing pattern and the Viva-Voce is conducted in the IV semester. There is an increase in Student’s strength every year. The Department takes pride in organising a one day seminar/workshop for all the Students who have taken French as part I subject.
