Note(s): Approved for General Education Foreign Language credit. Grade Mode: A. Credit(s): 1–4. HUFR 201 - Foreign Language Intermediate grammar and composition with emphasis on communication and reading. Course may include such languages as Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Korean. When Offered: May be repeated with different content. Not offered on a regular basis. Note(s): Approved for General Education Foreign Language credit. Grade Mode: A. Credit(s): 1–4. HUFR 203 - Foreign Language Intermediate grammar, listening, speaking, writing, reading. Course develops communication in various contexts with increasing proficiency. Learners will acquire greater command over basic and intermediate level structures. They will be equipped to use the linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competencies in broader domains. At this level, the learner can perform the activities of the language of perception (e.g., can understand the main ideas of complex texts on various topics, including semi-specialized language), of production (e.g., can express oneself clearly and in detail on a wide range of topics), in interaction (e.g., can maintain a conversation and interact with a certain degree of fluency and spontaneity). Prerequisite(s): HUFR 201. Grade Mode: A. Credit(s): 3. HUFR 290 - Reading Foreign Language Texts This course will develop reading proficiency at an advanced level. Students will focus on grammatical, lexical, and syntactical structures of the target language in the reading of texts from various genres. Note(s): May be
