Emails detailing the upcoming themes/subjects for the week will be sent out on Fridays by 6:00pm. Textbook: D’accord! Level 2 by Vista Higher Learning *Please cover* Supply List: - 1.5 inch 3-ring binder - dividers (5 tab) - French-English pocket dictionary (Larousse or Webster make great ones!) - college ruled notebook paper - pencils, pens (blue or black ink only, please)

  5. Syllabus cont. Content Overview: Bienvenue au niveaudeux! This year we will explore different cultures, vocabulary, grammar, literature, and media within the francophone world. Some topics will include food, health, technology, and the arts. We will learn verbs in the imperfect, future, and conditional tense, as well as many other French language structures. Classes will be conducted primarily in French. While this is challenging and requires a lot of patience and tenacity, immersion is one of the most rewarding and effective ways of learning language. Students will be expected to complete homework on an almost nightly basis, as well as participate in discussion, give oral presentations, and create meaningful projects. We will also explore music, film, and other interesting cultural aspects of French culture from all over the world. Students will be evaluated by the “5 C’s” standards of foreign language learning, which will build students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.

  6. The “5 C’s” • Communication – communicate in languages other than English • Cultures – gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures • Connections– connect with other disciplines and acquire information • Comparisons– develop insight into the nature of language and culture • Communities – participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world

  7. Syllabus cont. Classroom Expectations: As a general rule, you should always come to class on-time and prepared and respect your materials, peers and teacher. I encourage flexibility and a positive attitude – we are all going to make mistakes and occasionally sound funny as we’re learning a new language – it’s normal! Let’s encourage each other! Participation and active engagement in activities is also essential for success. Note: Absolutely NO ONLINE TRANSLATORS are permitted for use on any and all assignments.

  8. Expectations continued • Keep binder and work neatly organized • Ask questions! Don’t wait until it’s too late! • Take notes… you will review them often • Try to take your bathroom breaks during passing period • Speak French as much as possible – with the teacher and each other • Please save side conversations for after class – class time is work time • NO GUM • Be flexible…

  27.

Adding a silent –s to the end of masculine and feminine forms gives you the plural forms of both. *** Don’t forget the exceptions!
