The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures sponsors a summer study abroad program in Lille, France where you can earn a total of six credits in French for five weeks of study in May and June. Please ask your instructor for more information or inquire at the Office of Study Abroad in 2118 Pullen Hall. Prepare all your assignments well before coming to class so that we can devote our in-class sessions to communicative activities rather than the learning of simple grammar rules. The auditory listening program in the Language Lab is also particularly important in this regard. I will collect written homework periodically throughout the semester.
Assignments are due for class on the day indicated on the syllabus.
Mentally answer each and every question by practicing each answer under your breath while a classmate is responding. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. The more you speak, the better you will get. Speak French in the classroom. Bring both your textbook and the course pack to class with you each day.
