Description: Continuation of French 1101; further development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Introduction to the French-speaking world. Course conducted in French.

Acquiring a new language is a process that takes time. In fact, acquiring a new language may be a lifelong process for many, but it is well worth the effort. While you cannot expect to become native-like after taking just a few courses, by listening to and attempting to comprehend lots of meaningful messages in French; and by interacting with your classmates and instructor in French; you will go a long way in building a firm foundation to allow you to communicate effectively in the target language.

Because language acquisition happens largely as a result of our efforts to comprehend spoken and written messages in the target language, this course is conducted in French. You may not (and you are not expected to) understand every single word your instructor says, but you should be able to get the general idea of what message your instructor is trying to communicate to you. Keep in mind that making errors is a natural and necessary part of learning a new language, so please do not feel nervous when you make mistakes speaking in class. Because a goal in this class is to develop communicative competence, the language practice activities in this course will allow you to learn interesting information about your classmates, and the French-speaking world in addition to helping you learn vocabulary and grammar.

Course Objectives:

• Talk about food and nutrition; discuss different types of personalities, professions, and schools; learn about historical events in the French-speaking world; talk about important personal events and holidays, talk about various types of art and media; discuss different types of personal characteristics and interpersonal relations; talk about travel and modes of transportation; compare different lifestyles and clothing preferences, talk about maintaining good health.

• Explore and compare the products, practices, and perspectives of people from different parts of the Francophone world using the Internet and other up-to-date, authentic sources.

• Watch the French film, Liaisons.

• Listen to/watch a variety of different authentic French language videos and songs for general comprehension.

• Read a variety of authentic texts.

• Write short paragraphs and description, and develop competence in pronunciation.

Devoirs Quotidiens [Daily Homework]

Homework for this course must be completed online in iLearn. Please go to the instruction sheet on p. 12 to register. You will need that registration sheet and the access key that was bundled with your text when you purchased it to access iLrn. Use this URL:

When you log into iLrn to do your homework, you will see the due dates for each assignment. You have until 11:59 pm to complete each assignment. There are 4 types of assignments in iLrn:

(1) input activities: Input activities do not require you to do much writing. These activities must be done before class to prepare you for class. These activities are automatically graded by iLrn. If you get some items wrong, you may redo the activity 2 more times (3 total attempts) to obtain a better score. Due dates for these activities are in iLrn.

(2) computer-graded output activities: These activities require you to produce language and are automatically graded by iLrn. If you get some items wrong, you may redo the activity 2 more times (3 total attempts) to obtain a better score. Due dates for these activities are in iLrn. While these output activities are usually not due until the end of the chapter, you will benefit most from them if you do these activities each day after working with the corresponding lesson in class.

(3) instructor-graded activities: These activities require you to provide open-ended answers.

(4) end-of-chapter activities: These activities require more extended writing. There are 2 types: (1) a blog about Liaisons or (2) responding to an e-mail. You must print these activities out and hand them in. Due dates for handing in these assignments are listed in your syllabus.

Tips for doing homework: You have up to 3 attempts to complete the input activities and the computer-graded output activities. On your first attempt, if you do not obtain a perfect score, look at the items you have wrong, and then go back to your textbook and review the section for these items before making subsequent attempts.

It is your responsibility to consult the syllabus and to log into iLrn to see the due dates for each assignment. Late work will not be accepted.

Self Tests

Self tests are available in iLrn as a study tool to help you gauge your progress. Each chapter has a pretest and a posttest. You may complete these tests for extra credit (1 extra credit pt for doing BOTH the pretest and posttest) toward your participation grade. Due dates are listed in the daily schedule.

Exposé

Each student will give a five-minute group (2-3 students in each group) class presentation in French about a French-speaking region or some other cultural topic from Liaisons. Detailed requirements for this assignment will be given later.

Présence / Participation Orale [Attendance and In-class Performance]

Regular attendance and participation in class activities are essential for successful language acquisition. In order to progress in understanding and speaking French, you must hear and speak it on a regular basis. Therefore, you must prepare carefully for class by reading all the assigned pages indicated in your syllabus.

Interrogations [Preparation checks]

There will be a total of 13 preparation checks, worth 10 pts. each, throughout the semester, as indicated on the schedule. The purpose of these checks is to verify that students have prepared the lesson for the day by reading the day's lesson the night before. Thus, these checks are not meant to be difficult. You should be able to do well if you have read the material on your own the night before. In order to prepare for the vocabulary checks, study the words presented in the Vocabulaire sections of the text. For the grammar checks, review material from the relevant Grammaire sections. Each check will take no more than 5 minutes of class time. At the end of the semester, you may drop your lowest grade. Makeup checks will not be administered.  

Contrôles (3) [Chapter quizzes]

There will be three chapter quizzes, one on chapitre 6 & 7, one on chapitre 8, and one on chapitre 10.

Partiel [Midterm] 

Your midterm will cover chapitres 7-9. To prepare for the midterm, attend class regularly, complete all homework on time, do the self diagnostic tests, and participate in class as best you can. Your instructor will provide you with more information about the midterm at a later date.

Your midterm will be returned to you to go over during class but you must return it at the end of class.

Examen oral: Concours Liaisons [oral exam]

Towards the end of the quarter, you will work in groups to present a scene from the film Liaisons. You may film your scene to show in class or perform your scene live in front of the class. You will be given two or three weeks to prepare this assignment and to practice together. You will receive an individual and a group grade on this exam.

Examen final [final exam]

The final exam will be comprehensive but with more attention to the material after the midterm (chapitre 10-12). The exam will take place during Final Exam Week based on the University Final Exam Schedule.

Academic Integrity Statement: Students enrolled in courses at The Ohio State University are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic conduct. The instructor will be alert to any kind of inappropriate conduct in the course. Suspicion of misconduct will be handled by official rules and policies of OSU.

Penalties for cheating or plagiarism may result in a failing grade in the course or expulsion from the university.  The use of translation programs to complete assignments is considered cheating and will result in a failing grade for the assignment in question.  The Department will abide by the decisions of the Academic Misconduct Committee. Examples of academic misconduct in this course include but are not limited to the following:

· Submitting plagiarized work for an academic requirement. Plagiarism is the representation of another's work or ideas as one's own; it includes the unacknowledged word for word use and/or paraphrasing of another person's work, and/or the inappropriate unacknowledged use of another person's ideas.

· Copying work or otherwise turning in written work that is not original to you. Cheating in this case applies both to the copier and the person who allows his or her work to be copied.

· Alteration of university forms used to drop or add courses to a program, or unauthorized use of those forms including the forging of signatures. Students are responsible for understanding what constitutes academic dishonesty. For more information on this topic, consult the Ohio State University’s policy on Academic Misconduct at: All suspected cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Committee on Academic Misconduct as required by University rules.

In its classrooms, the Department Near Eastern Languages and Cultures maintains a positive learning environment free from all harmful forms of discrimination.  You are expected to adhere to this policy.

Disability Accommodation: Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated. They should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs.

Students who feel that they need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact Julie Prince (740-725-6247) to discuss their specific needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in room 128 Maynard Hall. General Information are available at

Mental Health & Wellness Services: As a student, you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student’s ability to participate in daily activities. The Ohio State University offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing. If you or someone you know is struggling with life on or off campus, help is available on the Marion campus through the Office of Student Life’s Mental Health & Wellness Services.
