Description
\nThis course is the first half of a two-part sequence that aims at refining and expanding the French you studied in elementary French classes.\u00a0 It includes the review and study of grammatical rules, as well as the reading and discussion of cultural material such as literature and film. \u00a0You will learn new vocabulary, refresh and expand your knowledge of grammar, and work at improving your speaking and reading abilities and aural comprehension. \u00a0You will do exercises from the book and workbook (oral exercises to be found on the Language Resource Center website (http:\/\/lrc.uncc.edu<\/a>), write short compositions in French and present short oral presentations. All classes will be conducted entirely in French.<\/p>\nFREN 2201 classes have been redesigned to integrate technology into the Languages and Culture Studies<\/a> curriculum.\u00a0 (In order to maintain accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, all UNC Charlotte departments are now required to assess student competency in computer skills.)\u00a0 We will use e-mail (all students have been assigned an e-mail address by the university; see the campus online directory<\/a> and the university\u2019s Computing Policies<\/a>), the Internet, and Moodle\u00a0for some communications and activities, as well as the Language Resource Center<\/a> (COED 434, ext. 78768).\u00a0 The new GenEd Program at UNC Charlotte requires the following \u201cbasic skills of information literacy and technology\u201d:<\/p>\n
Incoming students are expected to have already developed the basic computer skills necessary to use word processing software, email, and the internet.\u00a0 By the end of their first semester at UNC Charlotte, students are expected to have developed the basic skills necessary to find and evaluate information from the internet and bibliographic and database sources in Atkins Library.\u00a0 These skills are developed in UWRT 1101<\/a>\u00a0and UWRT 1103<\/a>, and help with bibliographical and database search skills is available in the information commons of the Library. Basic tutorial help is also available at campus computer labs. Students are expected to exhibit ethical behavior in the use of computers.\u00a0 More advanced information literacy and technology skills are required by individual departments and majors. \u00a0[http:\/\/catalog.uncc.edu\/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=331#Baccalaureate_Degree_Requirements<\/a>]<\/p>\n
Goals and Objectives<\/h3>\n
This course fulfills in part the language requirements<\/a> for the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Architecture, and Health and Human Services (see The Language Proficiency Requirement<\/a> for details on who must take a foreign language at UNC Charlotte).\u00a0 The goals of the course are to help students develop conversational skills, awareness of different cultural practices and perspectives, to use the language to explore other disciplines, to compare French and their native language and culture, and to apply French beyond the classroom.\u00a0 Goals and expectations for FREN 2201 are in keeping with the national Standards for Foreign Language Learning<\/a>, which propose activities in the areas of Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. \u00a0The national Proficiency Guidelines<\/a> <\/i>are used to gauge students\u2019 level of performance and progress.<\/p>\n
Prerequisite<\/h3>\n
French 2201 is open to students who have completed French 1202 at UNCC, OR who have had two or more years of high school French AND have placed into this level according to their language placement test taken in the Language Resource Center.\u00a0 Information on the General Education Foreign Language Proficiency Requirement is available at http:\/\/www.languages.unccc.edu\/proficiency.htm<\/a>. For information on the foreign language requirement of your major, consult your academic advisor.<\/p>\n
