Course Catalog Description:
Basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Emphasis on communicative competence. Some cultural readings.
Class Description:
This course is intended for students with NO previous study of French, or students who have not studied French in recent years (gap of 3 years or more). If you have more than two years of high school French completed within the last year or two, you should register for Fren 4022 which provides students with an accelerated review of Fren 4001 material followed by material covered in Fren 4002. For further information on placement, see your advisor or contact the Department of French and Italian. Fren 4001 is a theme-based course. Students develop their communication skills in French in different areas: speaking, writing, listening and reading. In addition to linguistic skills, students develop a better understanding of diverse aspects of French-speaking cultures. Themes addressed in the course include: student life, family, recreation, life in Francophone cities, housing, Francophone heritage in Northern America and Canada. The text, "Deux Mondes," 6th ed., is accompanied by an electronic workbook (Quia) with a variety of practice activities including listening ones, designed to be used by students outside of class. In the "Deux Mondes" textbook students will work with materials from "Premiere Etape" through Ch. 5. Since the majority of class is devoted to communication activities, class attendance is fundamental. Expect an average of 1.5 hours of outside preparation for each class session hour.
