This intensive course is designed to take you from GCSE level French to A level standard and beyond in one year. It can be studied as a major or minor subject: it is intended both for students studying for a degree in another subject, and also for those who may wish to spend their third year in France and return to Lancaster to complete a degree in French Studies.

In addition to the intensive language element of the course (representing 60% of the marks for the course), French 100 students - except European Management BBA students - will also follow a programme designed to introduce you to modern French literature and culture (40% of the course mark). This booklet describes the language element only of the course, you will receive a separate booklet giving details of the culture component.

You will have four language classes a week with your language tutor (grammar, vocabulary, analysis of texts, listening), and one pratique orale session with a native speaker; for culture there will be one seminar each week, and a fortnightly lecture, i.e. a total of six classes a week in even weeks, and seven in odd weeks. Language classes continue for 25 weeks, the culture component ends at the end of the Lent term.

The language course is intensive, there is a lot of ground to cover in a short time in order to allow those who wish it to achieve a degree in French at the end of their fourth year of study. In addition to the final written and oral exams, you must complete 12 pieces of coursework during the year (2 oral, 2 listening, 3 grammar, 5 written), and you will also be expected to do unassessed work after every class, both as reinforcement of your learning and also as preparation for the next class. If you feel you cannot make this commitment, you should perhaps reconsider whether you wish to continue with this course. However hard your tutor may work, learning a language also requires a lot of input from the learner; it is hard work and time-consuming, but ultimately well worth it!

ENROLMENT FOR FRENCH 100

This is a post-GCSE course, which means that any student wishing to join the course should have at least a grade B pass in GCSE French. However, other students wishing to join the course who feel they have an equivalent level in French will be asked to take an entry test. This will take place in Bowland North Small Lecture Theatre at 10.00 on Thursday, 30 th

September.

For this course there will be a maximum of two groups of sixteen students. If there is heavy demand for places on the course, priority will be given to DELC students already studying a language other than French, and to students who are able to show experience of successful language learning (e.g. an A level or good GCSE in another language).

We will be unable to confirm your place on the course until after enrolments have finished on Wednesday, 29th September and after the test results are obtained.

A meeting has been arranged on Thursday, 30th September for all students enrolled on French 100 at 3.00pm in Bowland North Small Lecture Theatre. At this meeting we will be able to confirm your place on the course and arrange the times of your seminars.

n.b. The following times have been allocated for French 100 language classes, but it may be possible to arrange other times if any of these clash with your timetable in your major subject:

Monday 1.00 and Wednesday 11.00, orMonday 4.00 and Tuesday 10.00+Wednesday 9.00Thursday 10.00Thursday 12.00Friday 1.00

COURSE OUTLINE

2. GRAMMAR PROGRAMME

Textbook: Practice in French Grammar 2nd edition Michael Gross

You will have one grammar class each week (though some grammar points will also be covered in the Tout Terrain classes). Each week you will be expected to complete outside class time any work not covered in class. You are also recommended to go over again in your own time all of the work done in class. The answers are in the back of the book. If there are things which you do not understand when working alone, contact one of your colleagues for enlightenment, or mention your difficulties to your tutor at the start of the next grammar class: do not suffer in silence, we are here to help you to succeed.

If you write your answers on paper instead of in the book you will be able to repeat any exercises where you may have made mistakes (or you could buy a second copy of the book!).

3. GRAMMAR NOTES AND PRESENTATION

Throughout the Michaelmas and Lent terms you will be asked to compile your own glossary of French grammatical terms, with explanations and examples. Your tutor will give you the pro-forma to complete this work, though you may have it in electronic form if you prefer.

In Week 17 you will give a 5 – 10 minute presentation on a grammar point of your choice (e.g. use of the infinitive, formation of adverbs, relative pronouns); you may choose to do this alone or with a partner. Perhaps surprisingly, it has been a very popular activity, and students enjoyed preparing and delivering the presentation in class.

COURSEWORK ASSESSMENT

On the final pages of this booklet (18 & 19) you will find the official departmental requirements for assessment for the course, both coursework (CWA) and examinations. In addition to the practical information below about coursework you will also need to refer to the departmental Code of Practice in the Essential Student Handbook (orange cover) for details concerning deadlines, extensions (in advance of deadlines and in exceptional circumstances only), criteria for marking and plagiarism.

Foreign-language characters can be obtained on any PC by using the ALT key with the 3-digit codes shown below. (You need to make sure that the ‘Num Lock’ key is on and use the numbered keys below it.)

Alternatively, you can click into Insert and Symbols, but in that case please note that the font may not match the font you are using.

Format and layout of coursework

· Word-processed coursework is preferred (in a point size of at least 12).· Language coursework and essays written in the target language must be double-spaced

(or written on alternate lines) and have a large margin, to allow space for comments and corrections.

· For essays written in English, double-spacing is also preferable and you should leave generous margins for comments.

· Use accents where required (missed accents and incorrect punctuation will be penalised) and check your work very carefully before handing it in.

Handing in coursework

Your regular language coursework should be handed directly to your language tutor.Other coursework essays can also be handed directly to your tutor (some tutors prefer this). Alternatively, there is a box for essays in the reception area near B12. This box is emptied and all essays are date-stamped at 5pm from Monday to Friday. Essays and other non-language coursework must be submitted with a cover sheet attached. Cover sheets are available from either the year noticeboard areas or the departmental office.

Please note that language work handed in up to one week after the deadline without an agreed extension will attract a 10% penalty, and that a mark of zero will be awarded to work received above a week after the deadline. Extensions MUST be requested and agreed before the deadline for the coursework. No piece of coursework can be marked after the work in question has been returned to the rest of the class.

INFORMAL LANGUAGE LEARNING.

This may be the most important section of this booklet. So far, you have received information about the formal requirements for the course, but successful language learning demands a lot from you beyond attendance at class and completion of coursework assignments. Your tutors will always do their best to help you to learn the language, but clearly they cannot learn it for you! Below you will find some suggestions which will help you to further develop your language skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking.

1. Keep a vocabulary book. Note down in it all new words and phrases that you encounter. (Remember to note the gender of nouns.) Read through it regularly. Test yourself occasionally, or ask a friend to test you. Try to re-use new words as soon and as often as possible to help you to become familiar with them.

2. Create opportunities to speak French. Talk with other students studying French, or with native speakers on your corridor. Join the Face2Face scheme. Talk in French to your tutor. Make the most of your Pratique Orale classes with your lecteur/lectrice, don’t remain silent for fear of getting things wrong.

3. Students often say that understanding the spoken word is the hardest part of learning a language, so do as much listening as possible, and remind yourself that everyone else is finding it hard too. Listen to the audio tapes kept in the library, use the Resource Centre PCs to listen to audio CDs. Watch the weekly news video, recorded every Monday lunchtime and available in the Resource Centre: you’ll find it hard at first, but if you stick with it you will discover how much more you are able to understand as the weeks go by.

Watch the French films shown on Thursdays at 5.00 pm in Bowland North Large Lecture Theatre, or at the Dukes Cinema in town. Study the television schedules, French films are often shown late at night. The Resource Centre has a bank of hundreds of videos which you may watch there or may take out overnight, and DVDs may be watched in the library.

Listen to the news on French radio, for example France Inter on 162 Khz, or via the Web. Regular news bulletins are given on the hour, with longer programmes at 12.00 pm (our time) and 6.00 pm. This is a very hard exercise, but if you already have some knowledge of the big news stories it will help you to understand.

4. Use the Web, in French: the search engine www.google.fr will give you lots of interesting and relevant links. You’ll find your own favourite French press web sites, but you could start with lefigaro.fr or lemonde.fr. If reading a full article seems daunting, look at the headlines every day instead.Use the Web, in English: type your favourite grammar topic into a search engine, and it will provide you with lots of entertaining and helpful exercises!

You will find many other interesting and valuable ways to practise your French, this page was intended just to get you started.

SUCCESS AT PART ONE!

Check the notice board regularly (in the First Year mixing bay on B floor, Bowland North, next to room B 24) for changes to the published timetable, and attend your classes regularly, but let us know in advance if you are unable to attend. Please note that attendance at classes is compulsory, and persistent unexplained absences are liable to disciplinary measures.

Be sure always to acknowledge when you are quoting from someone else’s work; failure to do so leaves you liable to disciplinary measures for plagiarism. Your work must always be your own work, copying is any case not an effective language learning strategy.

To qualify for entry to Part II, you must pass in all 3 of your Part I subjects. Please note that students intending to continue to Part II French as part of a major, combined major or 2 unit minor course of studies, must achieve a minimum mark of 45% in the written language exam. This regulation applies also to European BBA students. If you do not achieve this mark you will be offered the opportunity to resit the exam at the end of August/early September; please ensure that you are able to return to Lancaster at that time if necessary. You will be informed of your Part One examination result early in July, when letters will also been sent to students who need to resit the written exam or submit missing coursework.

Please see the Essential Students’ Handbook for further details of the Departmental Code of Practice and general information about the Department of European Languages and Cultures. If you have further questions which remain unanswered, please see your tutor, the course coordinator, or Annik Taylor, the first year secretary.

Good luck with the course, and with your language learning! We hope you will enjoy the course and be successful, but if ever you encounter difficulties, don’t hesitate to speak to your tutor or to the course coordinator (contact details on Page 2).

Bon travail!
