LEARNING OUTCOMES
In this unit, students will learn how to :
To read a literary text in French and be able to talk and write about it.
To understand different literary genres.
to communicate orally in various situations,
to write different text types (narration, description, etc..),
to express attitudes,
to talk about grammar and understand linguistic principles and
to make appropriate linguistic choices in particular contexts of use.
Learning situation per week :
1) One hour lecture
2) Two-hour tutorial
3) One-hour tutorial
4) Online learning
5) Independent study
It is highly recommended that students do 30 minutes of French per day in order to maximise their
learning. Learning French is a progressive process, and it is better to dedicate a little bit to it everyday,
rather than a lot once or twice in the semester.

2. Online Work
This unit requires regular use of the Universitys Learning Management System (LMS), also known as
Blackboard Learn. You will need reliable access to a computer and the Internet to use the LMS.
The easiest way to access is through MyUni (click on the MyUni link on the university home page,
http://sydney.edu.au or link directly to the service at https://myuni.sydney.edu.au/. There is a
Blackboard LMS icon in the QuickLaunch window on the left hand side of the screen.
If you have any difficulties logging in or using the system, visit the Student Help area of the LMS site,
http://sydney.edu.au/elearning/student/help/.
This online grade has two components :
a) grammar quizzes.
Exactly like semester one, this grade will assess your diligence with the grammar quizzes. The
aim of these tests is to make sure that you work on grammar regularly, which is why we will
assess the frequency of your grammar work, as opposed to the score obtained to each quizz.
b) voiceboards
We will also assess the frequency of the voiceboards, to make sure that you also work on your
spoken French throughout semester.
The grammar quizzes count for 50% of this grade, and the voiceboards count for 50% as well.
Everyweek, you must access Blackboard :
(Note that the work has to be done weekly to contribute to your learning and be completed by
the end of week 12)
YOU ARE ALSO STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO :
1) Listen to the audio file containing a reading of the designated weekly excerpt from Djinn
2) Search for additional exercises that correspond to what you have been learning in class in
Useful websites on the left hand side menu.

matter may be referred to the Registrar for further disciplinary action under the terms of the Academic
Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy 2012 and Chapter 8 of the University of Sydney By-Law 1999 (as
amended).
