Program Description We express ourselves through language, and language also gives the form and structure to shape the very ideas and feelings experienced. To speak several languages easily and fluently is thus to be granted access to a complex and rich world. Study French at UNB and students will deepen their mastery of French and encounter complex Francophone cultures from around the world. Students will strengthen their writing, speaking, and translation skills, and study the poetry, prose, and films of writers and directors from nearby Acadie and from around the world. In a bilingual province and a bilingual country, fluency in both official languages is essential.
