French Courses Taught  by Diane Griffin Crowder

 

 

Cornell offers a full range of  beginning to advanced language courses.  A new computerized laboratory is fully connected to the World Wide Web, and we have many years of experience with computerized language instruction.  Advanced students receive comprehensive training in composition and conversation, French and Francophone culture, and French literature from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.  We take turns leading the exciting French in Quebec course, taught in alternate years.

My  specialties include Twentieth century novel, the "nouveau roman,"  and the works of Colette and Monique Wittig.  I teach all levels of language, and work intensively with advanced students on writing and speaking in French Composition and Conversation.  I teach the literature of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and alternate with Professor Boney to teach the capstone Seminar.  Recent seminar topics include Colette's literature of love, and contemporary Francophone novels from Africa, the Carribean, Algeria, Quebec, and immigrant communities within France.  See my Research page for further information on  my interests.
