Germain Choffart, Lecturing Fellow and Coordinator in the French Language Program

Please note: Germain has left the "Romance Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.

I teach diverse levels of French, with a focus on elementary and advanced courses that integrate key themes of sustainability, disinformation, and intercultural competence. My areas of interest encompass second-language teaching, learning methodologies, service learning, and fostering critical thinking skills. I coordinate the Fr101 level, and I direct the DukeEngage France program. I have worked with Duke's Global Education Office and DukeEngage on other international programs.
