Texts:
La Houssaye, Contes d’une grand-mère
louisianaise.
Albert Camus, L’Étranger.
Comeau, Lamoureux. Holt, Rinehart, and Winston,
Ensemble Grammaire, 7th
edition.
There will also be packet of other reading material..
In addition, you will need
a full size hardbound French-English dictionary.
In this course you will build on the French that you
learned in high school or in your typical first year French course
on the college level. The goal of this program is to help you more
efficiently process basic concepts and move toward more fluency, independence,
and subtlety in listening comprehension, oral and written expression,
and reading. A language course is different from other courses at
college because you actively work on oral communication skills. The
only place you can work on these skills is in your French class. Other
classes may not require your attendance because you can learn the
material from the book; however, there is no substitute for the dynamic
interaction that takes place between you and your teacher—a trained
language acquisition specialist. When you finish this course you should
be able to carry on conversations in basic French and be able to read
comfortably with the aid of a dictionary.
Policies
1. You are expected to come to class prepared every
day. Study the material specified on the syllabus or in class! There
may be a quiz even though there is not a written assignment
2. Every quiz and examination will stress oral comprehension.
Keep in mind that all class work will be conducted orally in French
and your attendance and participation will have a definite impact
on your grade. The activities of listening to a language, speaking
a language, and writing a language all demand active skills.
This class will require your active participation.
Students who have 3 absences will have their final
grade lowered one full letter. For additional absences there will
be a penalty of 2 points per day before the letter grade is dropped.
*Including the final there will be 4 major tests. Note
my policy on makeups.
*Make ups: No make-ups for an unexcused absence are
given. In case of excused absences, I may choose not to give a make-up;
instead I may choose to count that quiz or examination as a grade
to be dropped.
*I am willing to give extra credit if you are willing
to work for it. 1 point on the final grade for each French novel
or play you read (in English translation). If you are interested in
this option, come see me before you choose a novel. Not all
works are acceptable for credit.
