FRIT-F 300 FRENCH AND FRANCOPHONE STUDIES: INTRODUCTION (3 CR.)
This course introduces students to different levels of style and expression and to written argumentation in French. Literary texts, films, and other media representing various periods and genres provide the basis for in-class discussion and for exercises designed to develop oral and written fluency. Topics vary by section. Conducted in French.

FRIT-F 401 STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRENCH (3 CR.)
This course examines various features of the structure of present-day French with a perspective on their historical development, and an overview of some current language-related issues in the French-speaking world. We will first consider the history of the French language from an external perspective, by examining some important historical events in the language¿s history, and from an internal perspective, by looking at some of the specific ways the language has changed over time. Then we will talk about variation in French, or how French differs geographically (i.e. dialects and regional varieties in France and in the French-speaking world), how it differs socially (i.e. how social groups such as socioeconomic class or sex are reflected in language use), and how it differs situationally (i.e. how people change the ways they speak depending on who they¿re talking to, the formality of the situation, etc.). Along the way we will look at spoken versus written French, slang, and français populaire. Next we will discuss directions for the future: how French creates new words (les néologismes), copes with English influence (les anglicismes), and adapts to women the names of occupations traditionally practiced only by males (la féminisation).

The Get a Life program assists creative youth in personal development. It offers tour guides and travel programs at two levels, one for people who want to travel between high school and college, the other for those who want to do it after college; and participants may do both if they wish. It includes many options ranging from two to three month summer sessions on up to full year sessions. About 10% of high school graduates do not immediately go into higher education or employment, and taking a travel year is a popular option. Some travelers choose a regional destination and meander within it; others cover the whole globe. In the year-long package, it's common to choose three or four different continents and move from one to another. Themed packages are available for people who wish to study particular subjects such as architecture, crafts, literature, or the environment. Another popular option is to visit multiple countries all sharing a world language, such as Spanish or French. The formal packages customarily include at least one "serendipity" stop, and travelers may choose more if they wish, up to selecting the entire itinerary at random. Get a Life also offers support for people 18+ who wish to backpack or otherwise travel on their own but still have access to the group's hostels, maps, lesson plans, and other resources.
The program attracts primarily writers, artists, and musicians but also dancers, sculptors, computer programmers, and various other creative types. It upholds the principle that in order to make great art, you need to experience life. Traveling around the world is a terrific way to cram a lot of experience into a relatively short span of time. Often participants find a culture or career they love, which shapes the rest of their life and work. College-age travelers are more likely to find a life partner. (Participants are encouraged, but not required, to use a long-term form of birth control while traveling, so that is available to everyone at no extra cost.) The program also supports travelers in finding places to live and work after returning home, with ties to a wide range of publishers, galleries, and performance art companies.
Prices vary depending on destination and length of session. However, Get a Life is heavily subsidized both by the National Foundation for the Arts and the Department of Education. Another major source of funding comes from their own graduates. Most successful graduates fund at least one new traveler; many have set up ongoing scholarships. Those who can't afford to contribute such sums can choose between a general scholarship fund supported by graduates, or one open to the public at large, both of which offer a variety of categories in which applicants can qualify.
Get a Life is so effective at improving maturity, tolerance, diversity, and excellence in its participants that many high schools recommend it to creative seniors instead of going directly to college. Conversely, most colleges -- and almost all fine arts schools -- view it more as alternative education than as a vacation in terms of accepting applicants. Often they let high school seniors apply and then defer enrollment in college until after completing their Get a Life tour. College seniors may announce plans to travel after college, and use that to gain admission to classes that will help them in that endeavor. This results in a higher level of artistic quality and cultural awareness in Terramagne.

In Terramagne, the World Citizenship Passport is recognized by a majority of nations and is available in 11 world languages. However, it must be earned instead of received as a birthright. Notably, it does NOT require citizenship in a recognized nation, making it available to stateless people, refugees, citizens of unrecognized nations, and others for whom the common travel documents may be unobtainable or undesirable. Obtaining a World Citizenship Passport requires:
* documenting identity through a variety of possible options
* speaking at least two languages well enough for basic use, one of which must be a world language (English, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Hindustani, Portuguese, Russian, German, Italian, or Esperanto)
* visiting at least 12 countries, or living in at least 4, on at least two continents (or island regions)
* demonstrating fluency with travel plans and related arrangements
* practicing multicultural awareness and diplomacy
* understanding at least 6 world issues like climate change, decolonization, disarmament, employment, gender equality, global trade, health, human rights, human trafficking, hunger, internet, oceans, peace, population, poverty, refugees, sustainability, volunteerism, or water.
* making a creative, financial, volunteer, or other contribution to a cause of global significance such as world peace or the environment
* In some cases, higher accomplishments in one area may be used to counterbalance lower accomplishments in others, so long as the individual demonstrates global scope across multiple areas.
The idea is that world citizens have a breadth of experience and a depth of tolerance which makes them a community well suited to helping others get along and get around the planet. In light of this, they get discounts and other perks from many airlines, hotels, and other businesses that cater to travelers. Most embassies take them seriously, and some countries prefer their diplomats to earn World Citizenship.
