009 011 - Intermediate French I

Institution:

University of Iowa

Subject:

Description:

French 9:011 is the third semester of a four-semester sequence designed to provide students, both potential majors and non-majors, with an introduction to French and the French-speaking world. In this course, you will explore many different aspects of the French world and work with others in the class through role-playing and other activities to engage meaningfully in French with concerns of contemporary life in French-speaking communities. Knowledge of the grammatical structures taught in the first two semesters is assumed but each chapter of the book begins with the opportunity for individual grammar review (La grammaire à réviser). Grammar is studied through exercises and also associated with readings in French and with the re-writing of compositions. 9:011 is a language class and vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading, writing, and speaking will be stressed but at the same time French will be used as the medium by which we gain access to knowledge about the French-speaking world. Students are expected to attend class regularly, to turn in assignments (typed with double-spacing) on time, to hand in only their own work, unread and unedited by anyone else, to show initiative in the preparation of materials, and to work regularly toward class goals. Students are expected to spend a minimum of 8 hours a week in preparation for actual class sessions. Classes are conducted in French.
