Entre Nous: A Tutorial Approach to the Teaching of Business French.
Chaisson, Arthur P.
Suffolk University (Massachusetts) has developed a degree program in international marketing in French and Spanish that links curricula in the economics department and the department of humanities and modern languages. Language tutorials are mandatory for students in the international economics major. The tutorials are taught by native French- and Spanish-speaking foreign students on campus. The structure of this program and details of its place in the interdisciplinary and language programs are described. Aspects of the program discussed include its history, organization, advantages over the use of adjunct faculty, disadvantages, point of conjunction with the economics major, instructional approaches and resources, placement, internships, student financial aid, and current participation rate. Appended materials include descriptions of the economics, French, accounting, marketing, and finance courses in the international economics program, a list of texts used in the French courses, and a bibliography for the tutorials.
