Welcome to French 120!

Spring 2024

REQUIRED BOOK: Terrell, Rogers: Deux Mondes, 8th edition, McGraw-Hill & access key to
MhConnect

PRE-REQUISITE: No prior French experience or the Placement Exam

Per university policy, students with equivalent transfer credit from another institution
must take the placement test. For placement test dates and times, see the Language
Center website: http://language.usc.edu/languages/placement.html

LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES:

Fren-120 incorporates the five goals of the ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for
Learning Languages (communication, culture, comparisons, connections,
communities) to help you develop your communication skills in French while
increasing your awareness of Francophone cultures as well as your own.

A typical lesson will consist of comprehensible teacher presentations (using

pictures, props, story-telling, poetry, etc.), question and answer interactions,
inductive grammar explanations, and communicative activities, often done in pairs
or small groups. In order to immerse you in the language, lessons are conducted
entirely in French.

Interpretive (listening and reading): You will be able to identify words,

phrases and simple sentences related to everyday life, and to recognize pieces of
information and sometimes the main topic of short level-appropriate authentic
texts. By the end of the semester, you will be able to:
 Identify information from some questions and statements about self and
others;
 Recognize some facts about the weather with visual support;
 Recognize information from physical descriptions of people, housing and
cities;
 Extract basic information from simple schedules, directions, graphs,
brochures, and advertisements;
 Identify some similarities and differences between your culture and some
French-speaking cultures.
Interpersonal: You will be able to communicate on very familiar topics using a
variety of words and phrases that you have practiced and memorized. By the end
of the semester, you will be able to:
 Greet and take leave of people in a culturally appropriate way;
 Introduce yourself and others;

1
 Welcome to 120 and Syllabus (Spring 2024)

 Talk about yourself, your family and others both physically and with regards
to character;
 Communicate basic information about yourself, others, and your everyday
life (e.g., likes and dislikes; daily activities and schedule; residence and
neighborhood; household tasks; time, dates, and weather);
 Ask and answer a variety of simple questions on familiar topics.
Presentational (speaking and writing): You will be able to present information
about yourself and some very familiar topics using language you have practiced,
using phrases and simple sentences. By the end of the semester, you will be able
to:
 Present information about yourself, family and friends;
 Express likes and dislikes;
 Present information about familiar items in your immediate environment
(e.g., house, campus, city);
 Describe your daily activities (e.g., schedule, weekend).

COURSE ORGANIZATION

The course is made up of 7 chapters/modules, of varying lengths. Each module corresponds to

one themed chapter in your book.

Homework
Written exercises in the blue pages of your textbook are due the day after they are assigned
and full sentences (not single answers only) are required. Your instructor will assign homework
from the blue pages daily. Exercises must be self-corrected using the answer key in the back of
the book. Full credit for written exercises will be given for self-corrected exercises ONLY.

Each chapter will have additional activities “Cahiers” for each chapter that must be completed
on MHConnect by 11:50 pm the night before the assessment. You may also do these
activities before the due date.

There may also be additional readings, video activities or writing activities assigned by your
instructor throughout the semester. You instructor will explain all expectations.

Important:

The written assignments represent opportunities for you as a student of French to

demonstrate your acquired knowledge of the material we have covered. Your
work should be wholly original, and only your instructor should provide
feedback and corrections on it. If absolutely necessary, you may use online
dictionaries to look up words (though this use should be limited and you should
try to use the vocabulary you’ve studied). However, you may not use online
translators to translate whole or partial sentences, and you may not receive help
on your assignments (see Academic Conduct p.5)

2
 Welcome to 120 and Syllabus (Spring 2024)

Class time
Our class meetings will be primarily devoted to active learning activities. Your instructor will
answer your questions and provide clarification and explanations, you’ll do interpersonal
activities in pairs, work with other students on small projects, make group presentations, and
contribute to class discussions. It’s imperative that you participate fully in class.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Relax and enjoy the progress you make every day. Listen closely in the French-only
classroom, but try not to worry if you do not understand every word or if other students
seem more advanced. In a first-year classroom, there are students of all backgrounds but
the curriculum allows for maximum success for all students if the following suggestions
are followed:

1. HOMEWORK 15%

Homework is the most important tool to help you learn a new language. As a general rule, you
should make up missed assignments but you will not receive credit for them unless you have a
valid reason for not completing them before the deadline (See details in French Language
Program Make-up Policy, p.4)

MhConnect: you’ll find the instructions for registering for your MhConnect section in Bb =>
Syllabus & Info

2. COMPOSITIONS 5%

Writing is an important mode of communication. You will complete 3 in-class compositions

throughout the semester. You may use your textbook, however, e-books are not allowed.

However, you may not use online translators to translate whole or partial sentences, and you
may not receive help on your assignments (see Academic Conduct p.4)

2. CLASSWORK (PARTICIPATION, PRESENTATIONS, ROLE-PLAYS) 15%

To learn a language, you must take an active part in your learning and use the language. Come to
class prepared, and participate as much as you can. Use French to communicate with your
classmates and instructor at all times during class and in pair/group activities. This effort will help
you make rapid progress in the acquisition of new language skills.

Another key to improving your oral and written expression is moving from sentences and strings of
sentences to connected sentences and paragraph-level discourse. You will therefore need to increase
your active vocabulary, master basic grammar structures, use connectors, and practice giving

3
 Welcome to 120 and Syllabus (Spring 2024)

details. Do your best to elaborate and expand, and self-monitor for accuracy but your main concern
should be the communication of your ideas.

Your classwork grade will be a reflection of your performance in language learning activities. It
is based on your level of preparation, the quantity of your participation (engagement, effort,
positive attitude) as well as the quality of your participation (fluency, accuracy,
pronunciation). Unexcused absences will negatively impact your grade since you’ll be unable to
participate or show that you were prepared. Furthermore, if you appear not to be prepared, your
grade will suffer. If you are prepared and do not participate, your grade will suffer similarly.

You’ll be assigned three classwork grades around weeks 5, 9 and 15. Please refer to the
Classwork Rubric (in Bb => Syllabus & Info) to see how you will be evaluated and how you
can improve.

Absences due to serious illness or emergencies will be excused upon

presentation of valid, original documentation (See details in French
Language Program Make-up Policy, p.4).

3. Four In-Class Assessments 30%

The best way to prepare for in-class assessments is through daily attendance, study, homework,
and practice. You must take all tests on the scheduled day. No make-up exams will be given,
except in the case of serious illness or emergency with documentation. (See details in French
Language Program Make-up Policy, p.4).

4. Midterm 10%

4. Oral Exam 10%

You will engage in a 5-minute conversation on topics covered during the course. See Grading
rubric in Bb => Syllabus & Info

5. Final Exam 15%

French finals appear under the "Exceptions" category in the schedule of classes and all students
must take the Final Exam on the scheduled day and time. (See "Exceptions" category in the
SOC or day/time indicated in the syllabus).

FRENCH LANGUAGE PROGRAM MAKE-UP POLICY

Students who can verify that they missed class or were prevented from completing assignments
are permitted to make up the work they missed if the absence is due to one of the reasons listed
below. It is the students' responsibility to provide original documentation to their instructor for
the following valid absences:
- performance in university-sponsored events (athletic competitions, fine arts performances,
ROTC activities, etc.): an original memo from the appropriate advisor must be provided;
- a death in the immediate family;
- religious holidays;
- jury duty.

If students are ill (flu, COVID, etc.) they are expected to stay home and self-care or quarantine
depending on the situation. Students are expected, to the extent possible, to keep up with the
work so they don't fall behind.

Personal reasons for missing class cannot be excused. These include personal trips to attend
university-sponsored events as a spectator, to visit family, to attend weddings or graduations, to
attend court (except for jury duty), and other personal reasons, even when plane tickets have
been purchased.

ACADEMIC CONDUCT

Plagiarism – presenting someone else’s ideas as your own, either verbatim or recast in
your own words – is a serious academic offense with serious consequences. Please

5
 Welcome to 120 and Syllabus (Spring 2024)

familiarize yourself with the discussion of plagiarism in SCampus in Section 11,

Behavior Violating University Standardshttps://scampus.usc.edu/1100-behavior-
violating-university-standards-and-appropriate-sanctions/. Other forms of academic
dishonesty are equally unacceptable. See additional information in SCampus and
university policies on scientific misconduct, http://policy.usc.edu/scientific-misconduct/.

If it is suspected that you have obtained help or used online services, you will be asked to
explain and reproduce your text.

Here are some general guidelines regarding cheating/plagiarism :

 Submitting material authored by another person but not appropriately documented or cited
(quotation marks, footnotes, endnotes, bibliography) is plagiarism. If you borrow any words
or ideas – whether you directly quote or paraphrase the material –, you must give credit to
your source in your paper. This includes material derived from written sources, or from
tutors, classmates, friends, or the internet.
 Documenting false sources or failure to credit your sources is plagiarism.
 A paper bought or taken from the Internet, or used previously is plagiarized.
 As to your French, all sentences must be your own. Do not use online services.
 Do not seek or accept assistance from a tutor or friend. The text must represent your
authority and abilities in French, and not those of other persons. In order to verify, your
professor may ask you to explain and reproduce all sentences and structures used the
text.

THE FRENCH MINOR / MAJOR

Proficiency in a foreign language will stand you in good stead for any career you undertake. We
