Laissez les bons temps rouler! (New Orleans French for “Let the good times roll!”) At Loyno, we offer language, culture, history, arts, and total immersion all rolled into one. We know that learning a foreign language is an indispensable part of individual development in the Jesuit tradition. The goal at the heart of our program is to appreciate other languages, literatures, and cultures. “Lagniappe” is a common local French-Creole phrase meaning “a little something extra,” which is exactly what you’ll enjoy by choosing a French program in our city.
Our program’s curriculum combines French language courses with a selection of French electives in culture, literature, and film, and finishes with a French capstone. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:
Second-Year French I
Development of basic language skills continues with emphasis on grammar and the acquisition and use of new vocabulary in cultural contexts. Reading and discussion of articles and other writings are undertaken with grammatical exercises and short compositions based on cultural topics.
Advanced Conversation and Phonetics
In this course, students acquire an extensive working vocabulary and fluency through conversation, reading, and discussion of cultural texts. French phonetics and its application to the improvement of pronunciation are also studied.
Culture and Civilization II
A study of the important historical, social, and economic events from the Revolution of 1789 to present, including French aesthetics and artistic traditions in painting, sculpture, and music, and current topics including education and the politics of modern-day France.
La Nouvelle-Orleans
This course examines the French heritage of New Orleans, and explores the French side of our history, institutions, architecture, language, food, and celebrations. The assignments and discussions help students know and appreciate the cultural uniqueness and rich heritage of the city in which they live and study
