CALENDAR DESCRIPTION: This course introduces students to the French language by an intensive study of
important aspects of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar through the use of audio-visual techniques such as
flashcards, slides, videotapes and the multi-media laboratory. Students are taught to speak, understand, read and write the
language by the direct association of visual and aural concepts with their expression in French. The basic goal is to
develop "creative communication."
Note: Students who have successfully completed French 11 can normally only receive credit for this course through
course challenge and should contact the Department Head for appropriate placement.

OBJECTIVES:
The main goal of our language courses at UCFV is to teach "creative communication." Upon completion of the
courses, our students are able not only to read and write but can also speak the target language. French 101/102 is a
beginners' course for those who have completed high school grade 11 French, French 100 at UCFV, or the equivalent.
Class time consists of two 80 minute blocks twice a week plus one 40 minute tutorial with the lab assistant who leads
small groups in review, conversation and cultural study, as well as an examination of videotaped material from the
French in Action series.
METHODS:
Students will learn French by pictures, gestures, slides, music, tapes, and dialogues, plus various conversational drills
and workbook exercises to develop skills in communicating in French without reverting to English translation.
Material to be learned will be constantly introduced, practised, reviewed and reused in an overlapping way so students
can learn vocabulary and grammatical structures gradually in a step-by-step fashion.
STUDENT EVALUATION PROCEDURE:
Final grade will be a total out of 600 points; it will be divided by six to obtain a percentage to fit in with UCFV's
grading scheme.
The total of 600 points is based on the following:
1.
Examinations and quizzes make up 56% (340 points) of the final grade. These 340 points consist of the midterm
examination (100), the final examination (100), eight vocabulary tests of ten points each (80), and three mini-tests
taken in the laboratory of 20 points each (60).

Written work makes up 27% (160 points) of the final grade. This consists of eight cahier sections (80 points) and

3.
Classroom and laboratory participation make up 17% (100 points) of the final mark. This figure is determined by
the student's attendance, participation, attitude and progress in both the class itself and the laboratory/tutorial
sessions, as well as the laboratory exercises.
