French Writing Lab

Each semester, professor Frédéric Attal reaches out to students of an intermediate or advanced level that wish to better their written French during individual appointments.

These individualized and interactive sessions will guide you towards the perfection of your writing skills following pre-established goals. Establishing precise objectives together in a collaborative setting is primordial to this lab.

Various subjects and goals are possible: writing journalistic articles, writing CVs and cover letters as part of a future job-search in France, going over French tenses and linguistic structures, writing film critiques, keeping a daily journal to relate your experiences, enriching your vocabulary in a certain domain, writing poetry or fiction... The possibilities are endless!

You will also be able work on the nuances and subtleties of French and on French idioms. A process of writing and re-writing throughout several weeks will help you improve your writing considerably.

Each appointment lasts either 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your preference.

To set an appointment please contact Frederic Attal via email at fattalaup.edu (subject: Atelier%20d%27ecriture) . The lab generally takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
