HU 410F - French I2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
The objective of this course is to provide students with a basic knowledge of the French language. The course will teach all four aspects of the learning of a foreign language: reading, writing, speaking and understanding. Particular emphasis will be laid from the very beginning on correct pronunciation. The course will start with a brief historic presentation of the origins of the French language and continue with the alphabet and spelling. Major effort will go into having the students understand the phonetic value of the French vowels. Each one-hour session will include reading of the vocabulary, a brief grammatical chapter, exercises and review of the material. Students will do in class all the previously assigned homework as well as new exercises from the textbook. Each week, about 15 minutes will cover one topical aspect of French culture and civilization, such as geography, basic history, social customs, and political and economic problems such as government, work conditions, immigration, and religion. Homework will be assigned every time and checked the next day. The tape that comes with the textbook will be available in the library. (prereq: must obtain permission from department chairperson)
