In FRALL, we develop the foundations necessary for the acquisition of French language through grammar study, verbal interaction, novel study as well as exploring the French language through current media sources. The intent of FI courses is for students to develop the abilities to organize ideas on a range of topics, in a clear, coherent and consistent manner, understand and use works of literature written in French, and to feel empowered by self-expression in a second language.
Learning happens through lectures, stations, discussion circles, debates, speeches, games. Assessment through projects, quizzes, essays, participation, interviews, dictees
Generally homework is not assigned. Students are encouraged to review notes from class or finish work they did not complete during the class time provided. Students should study for weekly or monthly dictees and work on summative assessments (about 4 / semester) outside of class time.
