Course
Description
Development of basic oral expression, listening and reading comprehension, and
writing; for students with a limited amount of previous formal instruction in
French. No prerequisite. Five
classes and language lab work; 5 credits. Followed by FREN 201.
This is a course conducted primarily in French.
Course
Objectives
By the end of the course, students will demonstrate an ability to:
1. Understand the French sound system and put
their conversational skills to use in everyday situations.
2. Acquire a vocabulary and master the
linguistic structures necessary for performing certain tasks in French, such as
engaging, continuing, and terminating a conversation; expressing an opinion;
expressing conditions; describing in the past; making an hypothesis; ordering
food; expressing emotions and desires; and summarizing.
3. Read and understand texts, watch and
understand visual media, listen to and understand recorded speech; appreciate
certain aspects of life in France or other Francophone countries.
4. Write short essays on an introductory level,
one of which discusses important questions raised by a French film.
Course
Requirements
1.
Attendance, preparation, and contribution. Attendance and
participation are mandatory and will account for 15% of the student’s final
grade. For purposes of notation, “contribution” is defined as physical
attendance, active participation in class, obvious preparation, and willingness
to speak French. As stated in the student handbook, “Students are
expected to attend all classes. Failure to attend class regularly impairs
academic performance. [Moreover,] absences are disruptive to the
educational process for others. This is especially true when absences
cause interruption for clarification of material previously covered, failure to
assume assigned responsibilities for class presentations, or failure to adjust
to changes in assigned material or due dates.” If the student misses 10%
of the scheduled class meetings for unexcused absences--in this case 7
classes--the instructor reserves the right to lower that student’s course
grade by no more than one letter grade. The instructor will also assign a
course grade of “F” when a student has missed a total (excused and unexcused)
of 25% of the scheduled class meetings, or 17 classes. Absences
will be excused only for the following reasons: illness, participation in a
university-sponsored activity, religious holiday, or recognizable
emergency. Absences will not be excused for court dates, transportation
scheduling, or doctor’s appointments. Students who arrive late to class
will also have their contribution grade lowered; every two late arrivals will
count as one unexcused absence.
2. Homework.
Because language learning requires constant revision and attention, students
will have homework every night. The syllabus reflects the nightly
readings and workbook exercises that students should complete before coming
to class. It is expected that students will use these exercises to
prepare for class and to highlight areas of personal deficiency. Homework will
be collected or checked at the beginning of every class and graded for
completeness and accuracy. Most exercises will require the student to
read and work through some new material before completing the assignment.
In order to receive full credit for the assignment, students must: (1) complete
all assigned pages fully, and (2) turn the work in on time. Work that
is handed in late will not be recorded for credit. Even in the event
of an excused absence, it is the student’s responsibility to turn in all work
on time.
3. Vidéo
+ Culture. Each leçon incorporates an episode of the video program and culture
segments to support vocabulary and grammar topics. As indicated in the Programme du Cours, Students will go online (en ligne) to the text site http://promenades.vhlcentral.com
to access the video clips, do related activities, and submit responses.
4. Chapter
exams (Contrôles). Exams
will be based on aural and written work done in class and for homework.
Exams must be taken at the scheduled time, except in the case of an excused
absence from class.
5. Vocabulary
quizzes. For each unité, students will prepare for a 5-minute
vocabulary quiz. Dates are indicated on the syllabus.
6. Compositions.
Students will write a brochure and one 150 – 200 -word essay. The second
piece will be written in stages in and out of class. Work that is
handed in late will be penalized.
7. Oral
final exam. The spoken exam will consist of a personal interview with
the instructor. Students will use the vocabulary from the semester and should
practice speaking in the present tense and the past tenses. These will
take place during the last week of classes.
8. Written final exam. The written portion of the final exam
will take place on Thursday 9 December,
8 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
9.
Honor code. Students are expected to conduct themselves in
accordance with the Longwood University Honor Code. All work submitted
for the class must be pledged. Students who are judged by the Honor Board
to be “responsible” for academic dishonesty in this class will receive a
failing grade for the course.
10. Grading.
The student’s course grade will be determined by the following percentages:
|

CELL
PHONE POLICY:
Please be considerate of your classmates and
professor: turn off phones before the beginning of class, and keep them out of
sight. Any student with an open cell
phone -- ringing, texting or checking messages -- during class time will be
marked absent for the day.
