Syllabus

This course will help students develop communicative competence in French by providing natural contexts and offering many perspectives on Francophone culture through readings and authentic materials.

By the end of the course, successful students should have developed their listening and speaking skills in French. They should be able to: talk about their classes and friends, the calendar, and the clock; discuss their families and favorite activities; give their addresses and phone numbers; discuss the weather, their recreational activities, and their routines; describe their abilities; express plans and wishes; talk about things to do in the city; ask for and give directions; and say what they have to do.

Across the Cal Poly campus this academic year, some class days will be canceled because of mandatory furloughs (unpaid time off). Canceled class days for this class will be 9/30, 10/14, 10/26, 11/18, 11/24, and 12/2; they are indicated on the syllabus. These are not holidays but examples of how massive budget cuts in California have consequences for you as Cal Poly students and for me as a Cal Poly faculty member. More information can be found here.
