Students who successfully complete this course will
be able to:
-comprehend basic and main ideas in spoken discourse,
comprehend specific ideas communicated by a speaker on everyday concrete
topics and some common abstract topics at a normal rate of speech;
-understand more complex but non-technical French,
learn the meaning of new words by inferring from the context;
-pronounce French at the sentence level, the eventual
goal is to produce short paragraphs with sufficient accuracy to be understood
by a native speaker used to dealing with non-native speakers;
-communicate effectively in survival situations
by negotiating for meaning with other speakers of French, begin to create
with the language, initiate interactions;
-create in class (without a dictionary) and outside
of class short texts of sufficient clarity to be understood by a sympathetic
native speaker;
-comprehend authentic texts in French by making
hypotheses about the content, using different (decoding) strategies to
understand texts, identifying functions of text, making inferences;
-demonstrate knowledge of and appreciation for everyday
Francophone culture and culturally conditioned behavioral patterns.
