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. In keeping with Cal Poly's learning objectives, successful students should also better be able to: think critically and creatively; communicate effectively; work productively as individuals and in groups; use their knowledge and skills to make a positive contribution to society; and make reasoned decisions based on an understanding of ethics, a respect for diversity, and an awareness of issues related to sustainability.
