Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Designed to improve listening and reading comprehension. Emphasis on accuracy in oral and written communication. Instruction in class and in lab. May not be taken by FREN 212 students.
COURSE DETAILS:
The course is designed for students with a good general background in French grammar and oral communication.
Through a variety of original material in French (newspaper articles, fictional writings, radio and tv news, as well as other written and audiovisual informative documents), students will be introduced to new vocabulary on topics such as the media, politics, the environment, immigration stories and popular tales.
A strong focus will be made on the development of listening skills, but students will also work on oral productions, reading and writing.
Although grammar is an integral part of the course and will be referred to in class, its formal presentation will be done mostly online with only short sessions in class. It will cover most common tenses/modes as well as some complex sentence structures.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
