We will work on composition skills throughout the course. To improve fluency and vocabulary in spoken French. To increase speed and comprehension in reading various types of texts. Review of the trickier points of French grammar, as needed. Daily attendance is required and classwork grades will be lowered for unexcused absences.
Compositions are to be typed, double-spaced, and neat.
Do the daily reading assignments. There will be frequent short quizzes over readings, grammar, vocabulary. There will be a term paper due at the end of the course. This is a 6-8 page paper on a topic of your choice related to either the readings or to other aspects of French culture that interest you. Each student will give oral presentations during the course.
