Debuts: An Introduction to French (by Siskin, Williams-Gascon,


and Field).
Debuts: Workbook and Laboratory Manual (Part 2)

Bienvenue tout le monde notre classe de Francais 102!!!!


This is the second part of a beginning course with continued emphasis on
conversation in which you will explore French in connection with a feature length
film designed for learners. You will grow in your ability to understand and speak
French by observing, listening, conversing, engaging in short readings, and
writing. You will continue to discover basic grammar, play with and practice
pronunciation, and gain vocabulary. We will pursue the exploration and learning
of French with the goal of making it increasingly meaningful to you and your life.
Our major goal this semester is to increase our French communication skills. We
will try to focus equally on the four language skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing.
In class, we will spend as much time as possible speaking and listening. To
facilitate communication, we will often work in small groups. We will present a
variety to sketches, short lectures and impromptu dialogues in groups.

Attendance: Attendance is especially important in foreign language courseseven. You need all the exposure to French you can get in order to make real
progress. Consider your desire, motivation, and commitment to learn a new
language. Your record of attendance will be 10% of your class grade.

Each class day, I will assign homework. The purpose of the homework is to direct

class before you come to class. The homework will usually be divided into 3
parts:

page), typed and well organized. You will be given different topics to write your

appointment, you must contact your tutor by phone or email as soon as possible.

be necessary).
