Oral Practice (Pratique orale):
Oral practice is imperative to the learning of a language. Therefore, weekly oral practice activities
have been incorporated into the course and will constitute 10% of your final grade. For individual
oral practice you will record and submit your answers via iLrn. The instructor will provide you with
recorded feedback. However, during the course you may be asked to speak with the instructor or a
classmate– via the iLrn Voiceboard or telephone. During the interactions with the instructor, you’ll
receive more immediate feedback. Plan approximately 30 minutes for these “chats”.
Options for additional speaking opportunities and practice you are greatly encouraged to meet
with a free French tutor, advanced French student, or a conversation partner/group - if you are on
campus or if available in your vicinity.
*Note: Speaking a new language can be intimidating, but don’t let this scare you away! The idea is
for you try out what you’re learning. The assigned activities are how you can practice what you are
studying and learning.
Homework: You are expected to complete the exercises assigned through iLrn/Quia. These
exercises (written/listening) allow you to practice your learning. Some are computer-graded, and
some are graded by the instructor (with feedback). Homework is outlined on the syllabus.
Expressions écrites:
You will be asked to short writing assignments throughout the term. To receive full credit, you will be
asked to make a 2nd submission, correcting any errors made in the initial submission. You will also
be asked to submit a composition at the end of the term about a French film. The composition should
be double-spaced and in a Word document, instructions are on Blackboard. Please include your
name at the top of the page.
Reading Les vacances du petit Nicolas:
This term, you will continue to develop your basic reading skills in French by reading two chapters of
Les vacances du petit Nicolas. The mischievous main character, Nicolas, has been likened to Calvin
from the comic strip Calvin & Hobbs, and each chapter describes his adventures with his family and
friends – seen through his eyes! There is an accompanying vocabulary list as well as
comprehension questions for each chapter (in Bb/Assignments/Petit Nicolas). Before
beginning a chapter, I recommend reading through the questions and the vocabulary list. Then, use
them for reference as you read. You will answer the questions with complete sentences in
French.
Exams (Examens): to be done only after all work is finished for the module!
Exams are closed-book (no book, notes or dictionary) and will be given via iLrn or Blackboard.
There is no proctor requirement, but the instructor trusts you will comply with all of the requirements
and parameters. ***Any and all problems must be communicated to me immediately via email.
Once you have completed all relevant coursework, make arrangements with the instructor to
take each module exam.
*For the essay questions on the exam, I will be paying particular attention to verbs: conjugation and
agreement with subject, agreement of adjectives, negation, and use of pronouns.
Course progress and deadlines:
The course deadlines have been set to help you make regular progress throughout the term and to
allow the instructor to give timely and useful feedback. You are expected to submit your work by the
deadlines in order to receive full credit. There will be point deductions for late work.
Homework for a module will NOT be accepted after you finish the test for that module. No credit will be
given for any missing assignments after the module test.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have specific circumstances which prevent you from meeting any deadlines
(e.g. an illness, a family emergency, etc.), it is your responsibility to contact your instructor as soon
as possible so you can work together to outline a plan for continued progress in the course.
Plagiarism
You are expected to submit your own work in all your assignments, postings to the discussion board,
and other communications, and to clearly give credit to the work of others when you use it.
Academic dishonesty will result in a grade of “F.” Link to Statement of Expectations for Student
Conduct: http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm.
Students with Disabilities
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability and Access
Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for
contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to
discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have
not yet obtained approval through SSD should contact DAS immediately at 541-737-4098.
Course evaluation
You are encouraged to engage in the course evaluation process each term. The evaluation form will
be available toward the end of the term, and you will be sent instructions through ONID. You will
login to “Student Online Services” to respond to the online questionnaire. The results on the form
are anonymous and are not tabulated until after grades are posted.
Suggested work plan: please read very carefully ! 

Read and study the designated material in the “Coursework” column on the following table.
First, look over new grammar and structures presented in the book’s “green pages.” Then, read over
corresponding pages in the chapter to see the vocabulary, grammar and structures in context and
learn additional, related vocabulary. Watch the corresponding tutorials, videos and read the
perspectives culturelles sections.

Use the Learning Resources found in the eBook on iLrn (see a list of these resources in Bb/course
information/cool tools) and listen to instructor’s recordings (found in Bb/Assignments– by Module)
as you learn new vocabulary and expressions. Following along with the book, the tools on iLrn and the
instructor’s recordings model pronunciation of new structures and vocabulary and include some
additional comments. They serve a bit like lectures.

Submit online work via iLrn. For each Structure, complete corresponding exercises in the Structures
utiles section (iLrn/Textbook Activities) (These exercises are located in the “green pages” at the end of
each Module.) Then, submit online written and comprehension activities via iLrn Textbook Activities
and Student Activites Manual tabs. To access the online activities, click the ‘Open book’ tab in the
student workstation, then click on “Student Activities Manual” or “Textbook Activities,” found on the
right side of the opening page. Next, choose the ‘Assignments’ link at the top of the page. Note: Some
of the activities are computer-graded; others are graded by the instructor. After reviewing your
submissions, the instructor will give you feedback –directly within the activity. You can find feedback
by clicking the “My results” tab on the student workstation:
1) Log onto iLrn. 2) Click on the “My Results” tab. 3) Select the appropriate book and Module. 4)
Once in the selected Module, if there is feedback, you will see a small clipboard looking icon next to
the activity. 5) Click on icon to see feedback.

Submit required writing assignments by posting to Blackboard, in the Module assignment folders.
This is a two-part assignment as described above. Note: excessive use (more than a word or so)
of online translators is a form of plagiarism. In addition, many times the translator will not give you
the word/expression you are looking for. For example, a student once wanted to say he ate too much
and was ‘stuffed’. Using the online translator, the student was given the word for ‘stuffed’, but it was
the word that would be used when talking about pillows or cushions, not the feeling of being too full
from eating.

Complete oral practice as indicated above and on the syllabus. Listen to audio models posted in
Bb/Assignments/”Instructor’s recordings & additional resources” first. Oral practice activities are found
in “Textbook Activities” (iLrn). Record most individually, unless instructed to complete the activities with
the instructor.

You will arrange to take a module exam once you have finished all work for that module.
Read instructor feedback (in iLrn) before attempting the exam – so you don’t make the same mistakes
on your exam. Read the exam study guide carefully before taking the test (it has important information
about what to study and what kind of questions to expect). You may also use the practice tests in
iLrn/Diagnostics to prepare for the exam. No assignments will be accepted for that module after you
take the exam.
Please check in with your instructor regularly. At any time, contact your instructor with questions or
concerns. I am also always open to arranging a phone meeting, if needed.
>> On the following pages, you will find the break-down of coursework and corresponding assignments. You may establish your
own “rhythm,” as long as you adhere to the established dates for submission of the assigned work.
