Overview of the program:
The
program in Dijon provides a full language and culture program at seven levels
[plus a teachers' institute in July only] over three summer sessions,
corresponding roughly to the months of June, July, and August. This
program because it allows for a very full regional immersion. In addition to
their regular coursework, all students can take separate courses devoted to the
following: cooking [with gourmet chefs!], film, folksong, regional art, the
history of Burgundy, regional wines, national politics, women's rights, along
with separate extensive courses in pedagogy and translation.
The program in 1999 runs from July 3 to July 31. For S.C.S.U. credits,
the following courses are offered: French 106, 206, 306, and 506;
all are variations of "French Culture in France" and all will be
individualized projects tailored to the cultural events in Burgundy this summer
in consideration of the ability-level of each student. Students also receive
three transfer-credits from the Universite
de Bourgogne.
