Department of French
Welcome to the Department of French at Agurchand Manmull Jain College, where we cultivate global citizens ready to lead in today’s interconnected world. Our programs are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the French language, culture, and the diverse Francophone world.
As the world increasingly converges, the knowledge of French provides a distinct advantage. French, recognized as a global language, holds prominence in Europe, Canada, and Africa. Rooted in India but decidedly French, our department prepares students to be future citizens of the
world-open-minded and engaged in a multicultural society.

Mission and Vision
Our mission is twofold: to teach the French language and to foster a deep appreciation for the culture, language, and friendship of the French-speaking world. We aspire to equip our students to become global citizens who lead in the globalized community.
Key Highlights
- Enhancing Cross-Cultural Communication: Our programs offer opportunities for students to acquire language and cultural competencies, essential skills for effective cross-cultural communication.
- Empowering Global Citizens:We engage our student population to ensure that all students have the opportunity to become global citizens, responding adeptly to the rapidly changing demographics and the increasing demand for French language learning.
- Four Fundamental Skills: We focus on honing the essential language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—through active interaction and classroom participation.
- Leading in a Complex World:Affiliated with the University of Madras, Chennai, the Department of French provides programs that educate students to live, work, and lead in a complex, technological, and diverse world. With two dedicated faculty members, we not only teach the foreign language but also initiate students into the rich cultures of French-speaking countries.
- Importance of Learning French:French is the international language of cooking, fashion, theatre, the visual arts, dance, and architecture. Beyond that, it offers access to great works of literature, films, and songs in their original French, enriching your cultural and artistic appreciation.
Join us on this exciting linguistic and cultural journey as we explore France and the vast Francophone world together. Let’s prepare to be global citizens and leaders in the interconnected and diverse global community.
