French for Field Work: A Specific-Purpose Language Course.

Strand, Dana

French Review, v57 n5 p669-74 Apr 1984

A French course for graduate students and professors preparing for field work in West Africa is described. Difficulties included defining the context for the language's use, time constraints, and learners' job-orientation and tendency to set their own standards of performance. Students' preexisting knowledge of the subject was an advantage. (MSE)
