課程目標

T這堂法語入門完全用法語教學。本學期的目標為:

1. 能夠了解法語的現在式、未來式及過去式，並可以說、寫以及閱讀一般性的題材，例如你和你的家庭，食物，旅行，嗜好，日常活動和週遭環境。重點在於如何在不同狀況下跟不同的人互動。
2. 能夠不用字典，而用法文寫出上述題材的短文。
3. 對於法國與法語系國家的風俗、歷史、和文明，有初步的了解。
4. 對你本身的文化有更進一步的了解與欣賞。

先修課程

21F.301/351 為入門課程，是為從未學過法文的學生所設計。（譯註：換言之，本科無先修課程。）

課程要求

內容

法文(一)將教完課本裡的序言和之後的七章 (第一章到第七章)。(剩下的六章會在法文<二>教完)

自習的部分有: 練習每一課的錄音帶和活動作業簿裡的習題。

B. 出席與參與

學生最好出席每堂課並且積極參與課堂活動。惟有透過每日自習和課堂上密集練習，學生在法語的聽、說、讀、寫的能力，才能與日俱增。若毫無理由缺席超過四堂的話，本課程期末成績將大受影響。經常遲到也會影響期末成績。學生如果缺課，必須自己去想辦法了解上課內容，拿到教授給的講義和課外作業等。

C. 家庭作業

上課前，學生最好做完教授給的家庭作業。這樣，每次上課時才能積極參與所有課堂或分組活動。學生課前充分預習，上起課來會更有收穫。

針對每一章，學生會收到詳盡的課程大綱；上面會概述接下來幾週的作業。所以，學生都將事先知道作業項目。作業內容包括:

• 研究教科書 <平行線>裡的字彙與文法
• 完成寫作習題。每一章都附CD，用這些CD，做完「聽力訓練」裡的聽力練習和「活動作業簿」的改寫練習。
• 撰寫及訂正短篇文章

寫作的作業必須準時繳交。

註: 學生需了解，每堂課的家庭作業必須花上一到二小時才能完成。

額外的準備與資源

• 學生可以儘量多做CD-ROM裡面的習題 (這些習題雖然不一定要做，但是做了可以強化學生的程度。)
• 聽字彙錄音帶/CD，這是很好的發音練習。
• 本學期，法語助教將針對發音和寫作，提供學生協助。(更多相關資訊將陸續釋出)
• 請到 MIT French web page 查看課程定期更新狀況，法國相關的資源，以及可申請的大學或研究所補助金和獎學金等有用資訊

語言學習資源中心

學生要到 LLARC ，也就是語言學習資源中心，去做發音與聽力練習，還可以從LLARC借出相對應的錄音帶/CD/CD-ROM。請逕向LLARC詢問開放時間。

LLARC還有附加的CD，裡面有「授課內容」的朗誦。(這些CD在學生的書單裡都找的到)。學生必須每天聽這些CD。

D. 考試

本學期共有六次定期考試，所有學生均須參加。學生如果缺考而想要補考的話，必須事先和教授約好時間。如果因為病假或事假而缺考，學生本人或代理人需於考試當天打電話到系辦公室，才可以補考。若未完全遵照規定，一律不許補考。這堂課沒有期末考。

評分方式

評量

計分項目有: 課堂作業和參與，兩次口頭報告，出席狀況，包括視聽中心練習的家庭作業，作文，及六次考試。

Course Objectives

This is an introductory course that is conducted entirely in French. The goals for this semester are:

1. To be able to understand, speak, write and read in the present, future and past tenses about such topics as you and your family, food, travel, hobbies, your daily present and past activities and your environment. Emphasis will also be placed on how to interact with different people in different contexts.
2. To be able to write short compositions about the topics above, without the use of a dictionary.
3. To become acquainted with French and Francophone customs, history and civilization on a simple scale.
4. To develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for your own culture as well as others.

Prerequisite

21F.301/351 is a beginning level course designed for students who have no prior knowledge of French.

Course Requirements

A. Content

We will cover the preliminary chapter and the next 7 chapters (chapters 1 through 7) of your textbook. (The following 6 chapters will be covered in French 21F.302.)

You will also be working, on your own, on the corresponding audio and written portions of your Cahier d'activités.

B. Attendance and Participation

You are expected to attend all class meetings and to participate actively. Your ability to speak, write and understand French can be only developed and improved through daily individual work, and in-class intensive practice. More than 4 unexcused absences will significantly affect your final grade in the course. Regular late arrivals will also affect your final grade. Should you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out what was done in class, what handouts were given, what the next assignment is, etc.

C. Homework

You are expected to do the assigned homework so that you can participate actively in all course activities, group work, etc. Coming to class fully prepared will help you have a rewarding and productive experience.

For every chapter, you will receive a detailed syllabus outlining the work for the following weeks. Therefore, your assignments will be announced ahead of time. They will include:

• Studying the vocabulary and grammar in the textbook Parallèles.
• Completing the assigned written exercises. Completing all the "Compréhension auditive" exercises and the revision exercises in the Cahier d'activités from the audio CDs that accompany each chapter.
• Writing and correcting short compositions.

You are expected to submit written assignments on time.

Note: Please be aware that you will need to dedicate one or two hours of homework per class.

Additional Preparation and Resources

• Do as many of the CD-ROM activities as you wish (they will be optional but they do provide good reinforcement).
• Listen to the vocabulary cassettes/audio CDs. They offer very good pronunciation practice.
• A French tutor will be available during the semester to provide you with help in pronunciation and writing (more information will be available on this subject soon).
• Please check the MIT French web page for regular updates on the program, French resources, as well as useful information about available French grants and fellowships for both undergraduate and graduate students.

The LLARC (Language Learning and Resource Center)

For the pronunciation and listening comprehension activities, you will need to go to the LLARC, i.e. Language Learning and Resource Center, and borrow the corresponding cassettes/CDs/CD-ROMs. Please check directly with the LLARC for their opening hours.

Additional audio CDs containing a reading of each "lecture" will also be available for you at the LLARC (they also come in your book package). You are required to listen to these daily.

D. Exams

Six exams, which are all required, will be scheduled throughout the semester. If you miss any exam and want to make it up, you need to make arrangements with the professor ahead of time. If you miss any exam because of an illness or an accident, you or someone on your behalf needs to call the office the day the exam is administered in order to be allowed to make it up later. Make-ups will not be allowed if this procedure is not strictly respected. There is no final exam.

Grading

Evaluation

Grades will be based on class work and participation, two short oral presentations, attendance, homework including lab work, compositions, and six exams.
