Associate Professor of Romance Languages and Literature Hanétha Vété-Congolo was recently interviewed as part of a nationwide project by Maine and Canadian francophone associations. Representatives of these associations are traveling across the country to speak with native French speakers who teach French and francophone studies, and to their students.

In the video, Vété-Congolo talks with Jean-Claude Redonnet, Professor Emeritus of the Université de Paris-Sorbonne, about her teaching, her students’ reaction to her lessons, francophone studies in the United States and in the world, the French language, and francophone cultures.
