<\/a><\/p>\nCourse information may be subject to change over the course of the term; the most up-to-date official version will be the one here on this site. Details of the weekly schedule may vary somewhat from section to section and from instructor to instructor, but following the same general structure and order.<\/p>\n
The full course description and syllabus here below is for all sections <\/strong>of FREN 102 in general<\/strong>: some details will vary between winter and summer sessions, in winter sessions between daytime and evening sections, and from section to section and instructor to instructor.<\/p>\n QUICK NAVIGATION<\/p>\n CONTENT & OBJECTIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n FREN 102 is the second part of a pair of beginners’ French courses (after 101, for absolute beginners), of a \u201cblended\u201d and \u201cenriched\u201d approach. The objective of the course is the acquisition of basic comprehension, communication, and writing skills. It aims to provide students with a solid grounding in French grammar and the development of an awareness of the language’s structures, and to act as a useful introduction to French and Francophone culture. The course involves six hours a week of classroom work\u00a0plus online practice exercises, homework, and preparation<\/span>.\u00a0FREN 102 takes students to around CEFR level A1.<\/p>\n READ ALSO (THE RULES)<\/a>:<\/p>\n ELIGIBILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n FREN 102 is the second in a sequence of courses for true beginners. It follows on from FREN 101, which is a course for beginners and as such is intended and designed for people who have no prior knowledge of French. Generally speaking, students may not earn academic credit for any course below the level for which they have qualified by previous study.<\/p>\n UBC’s French course sequence should be taken in order and one course at a time: it is preceded by 101 (or equivalent taken elsewhere) and followed by 111 and 112 (FREN 112 satisfies the UBC Faculty of Arts language requirement); then 122, 123, 222, and so on. See further: http:\/\/fhis.ubc.ca\/undergraduate-french-program\/advising-french\/<\/a><\/p>\n FREN 102 is probably the right course for you if:<\/p>\n Not sure which course you should be taking? REQUIRED TEXTBOOK & COURSE MATERIALS<\/strong> <\/a> Manley, Smith, McMinn, Pr\u00e9vost EITHER<\/p>\n OR<\/p>\n Both versions include an access code \/ book key, giving access to the Horizons <\/em>online materials at iLrn: http:\/\/hlc.quia.com\/books<\/a>:<\/p>\n Course materials can also be bought used from students who took this course previously; for more information, please read course materials<\/a>. You may share online access codes for working on online exercises\u2014working on them in pairs of peers is strongly encouraged (see further below)\u2014but you MUST have your own copy of the textbook (or its ebook version). Please bring it with you to class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Course information and documents, as well as some supplementary materials, are here at https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fren102<\/a>. The most up-to-date official version will be the one at that site.<\/p>\n Individual instructors may also choose to make use of UBC Canvas for their section; they will inform you accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n READ NEXT:<\/p>\n QUICK LINKS:<\/p>\n MODES OF ASSESSMENT & DISTRIBUTION OF MARKS<\/strong><\/p>\n * = these parts (25% in total) of the final grade may be redistributed or reallocated in different ways by individual instructors<\/em><\/p>\n WORK & EXPECTATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n As is usual with university-level courses, students are expected to attend all of their classes and should also expect to be spending at least 2 hours outside class (regular preparation, homework, and practice) for every hour spent in class. For a six–hour class, that is at least twelve hours’ work; or, a little over an hour every day during the week, and the weekend off.<\/p>\n Language learning requires regular practice: like music, dance, martial arts, and sports. It is better to do some French every day, rather than trying to cram all your homework into one session on Sunday afternoon (also, this wrecks your weekend). FREN 102 has online exercises to provide you with this practice. You are actively encouraged to work on them with a fellow student, peer-to-peer.<\/p>\n BONUS: some useful practical general tips and advice<\/a> from Timothy Gowers<\/a> (Mathematics, University of Cambridge) > scroll down to “General study advice”<\/p>\n READ ALSO:<\/p>\n Homework compositions:<\/p>\n Online exercises:<\/p>\n Francophone UBC & Vancouver fieldwork project:<\/p>\n Vocabulary quizzes:<\/p>\n Oral and aural work:<\/p>\n Tests:<\/span><\/p>\n Final examination:<\/p>\n * = these parts (25% in total) of the final grade may be redistributed or reallocated in different ways by individual instructors<\/p>\n <\/a> Your first port of call is your instructor (= the person who teaches you in class), who will hold weekly office hours. <\/a><\/p>\n You can also contact your instructor by email; their UBC email addresses are listed at:<\/p>\n You can also talk to or email the course coordinator:<\/p>\n COORDINATOR: This course site also links to resources to help you and for finding help, at UBC resources & useful links:<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> * For exceptions to the two previous policies, in exceptional circumstances, and with supporting evidence for your absence: see Late work, extensions and making up for missed work<\/a> and Missing or rescheduling tests and examinations<\/a><\/p>\n READ NEXT: SYLLABUS (II): THE RULES<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u2192 I. Aims and objectives<\/a> These rights, rules, and responsibilities are in addition to, not instead of, all policies and guidelines as supplied by the University, Faculty of Arts, and Department of FHIS. The most up-to-date version will be online (at the aforementioned URL).<\/p>\n They apply generally across all sections of FREN 102: there may be some variation from instructor to instructor (for example, on the exact penalties for late work).<\/p>\n N.B.: you are expected to be cognisant with University rules and regulations: this is part of the contractual agreement every student enters into with the University when they register.<\/a><\/p>\n THE FINAL EXAMINATION I : ATTENDANCE<\/a><\/p>\n SEE ALSO: EXAM ACCOMMODATIONS<\/a><\/p>\n There are only three exceptions to the rule requiring that all students write their final examinations at the appointed time.<\/p>\n 1. Students with three examinations schedules within a twenty-four hour period are said to face an examination hardship<\/em> and are entitled to have the middle exam rescheduled. If French 101 falls in the middle of such a combination, consult the coordinator (contact information below).<\/p>\n 2. Students who are prevented by illness, bereavement or other personal or family affliction from writing an examination on the appointed day may apply to their Faculty\u2019s Academic Advising Office for deferral of standing. Documentary evidence will usually be needed to support the request.<\/p>\n 3. An examination whose date falls on a religious festival will be rescheduled by the coordinator for adherents of the faith concerned. But please note: you may not invoke the policy to justify an early departure from campus for the holidays unless you adhere to a religion that has no place of worship in the Lower Mainland. Your exam will simply be moved a few days in either direction.<\/p>\n THE FINAL EXAMINATION II : DIRE WARNINGS<\/a><\/p>\n 1. Under no circumstances will an examination be rescheduled to accommodate a student\u2019s travel plans, not even to prevent the waste of money unwisely spent before the exam schedule was known.<\/p>\n 2. No provision will be made for students who miss a scheduled examination because they misread the timetable.<\/p>\n WITHDRAWAL & CHANGE OF REGISTRATION DATES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The general schedule is intended to help you plan and organize your work, and prepare properly for class.
