Course goals: In this third-semester intermediate French course you will increase your language
skills and your knowledge of francophone cultures by studying intermediate level French
grammar and literary texts, as well as watching and discussing films and other visual media. In
this class you will be listening, speaking, reading and writing in French. You will be practicing
the 4 “compétences européennes” skills: expression orale, expression écrite (EO& EE),
compréhension orale, and comprehension écrite (CO & CE) and will be tested on these skills
This course fulfills the core requirement for Diversity core. It will provide you with ample
opportunity to participate in discussions and dialogue so that you may actively engage in issues
of diversity specific to various francophone countries and compare them to issues of diversity in
your native country. In this class you will examine the concept and meaning of difference, and
the social, political, and economic issues that result from it. Moreover, you will develop
sensitivity to different cultural perspectives through your increased ability to engage peoples
from other culture in their own language and on their own terms.
Devoirs-homework: Homework will be posted on D2L (most of it except for handouts) and should be
done and turned in due time. There will be an exam/contrôle after each chapter and short “rédac”. Any
suspected use of an online translator will result in an F. When typing your essays, please choose font
12/double space/accents on http://french.about.com/od/writing/ss/typeaccents_7.htm for p.c. & _8.htm for mac.
Method of study: (your responsability)
1. Study of grammar: After class you should study the grammar section of Interaction that we
have discussed in class. Review the grammar structures and the vocabulary before doing your
workbook assignments. On the following day, I will answer questions you may have on any of
the material.
2. Study of culture/literature/film: On the days we plan to discuss a cultural text or film, you
must come to class prepared for discussion. This means that prior to our class meeting, you
should read the text or view the film at least 3 times, and write down your answers to the
discussion questions.
3. I strongly suggest that you spend at least a few hours per week viewing francophone websites.
The following will provide you with opportunities to view short films, music clips, news and more:
http://www.tv5.org/index.php ; http://www.7billionothers.org/fr/node/44; http://www.allocine.fr/
http://www.tv5mondeplusafrique.com/# ; http://www.conte-moi.net/ ; http://www.malijet.com/
4. Expect to study at least 3 hours a week to keep up with the course material.
5. If you have any problems or questions with any aspect of the course, please come see me in
my office (located in Gaines 118). My office hours are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2pm3pm, or by appointment. I will be glad to help you overcome any hurdles.
