CHAPITRES 1 à 7
TENTATIVE LESSON PLAN
The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus
This syllabus is organized by week and gives the general pace of the course. See Calendar page for
dates of major tests. Adjustments to the calendar may be made during the course of the
semester. Approximately 2 weeks will be devoted to each chapter (chapitre). Each chapter consists of
four lessons and a section of cultural information called
Correspondances. Detailed assignments will be given on a daily basis in class. Most of the written
homework will be from the workbook and it is due the day of the chapter test.
For credit, homework must be handed in at the assigned day.
Most students need to plan on an average of 8 hours per week or more study time to keep up with the
class.

As your professor, I want you to be successful in this class. We will work together to achieve the levels of
proficiency previously stated. I will create activities where you can experience speaking, reading, listening
and cultural understanding of French.
In the syllabus, the section < Révision et pratique orale/écrite> has been specifically designed to provide
to each of you enough time for interactive practice (oral and written) in French. I will rely on your feedback
through shorts quizzes, tests as well as all other pertinent activities.
Perfect attendance will be rewarded. The teaching approach of the course is to encourage, sustain and
challenge your commitment to learning French in a non - intimidating and interactive context.
