FRENCH 212: INTERMEDIATE FRENCH I | FALL 2016
Bienvenue! This intermediate French section is an interdisciplinary content-based foreign-language course that integrates vocabulary, topics, and
projects related to science and technology into the traditional foreign language and culture studies. Studying France's inventions and discoveries,
students will come to better understand the many ways science and technology interact with society and culture, and the difference in views on
global issues. This novel pedagogy is carried out via an extensive use of Twitter, videos and films, science books from France, and presentations a
technical nature from Francophone business people and NCSU science and engineering faculty. Embedded throughout the content of this course,
you will become adept at using the intellectual standards for critical and creative thinking in evaluating the work of others, as well as solving
problems/addressing questions in French. You will also be introduced to tools to help you reflect on your own thinking (i.e. metacognition).
ABOUT THIS COURSE
Why Study Another Language?
Part of the purpose of a general education requirement is for students to challenge their own preconceived personal and cultural frameworks, as
well as to further their intellectual development and personal growth. To this end, the study of a language beyond one’s native tongue pushes
students to communicate through different sounds, words, and structures, and it provides an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the practices of
one’s own and other cultures. Furthermore, empirical research in recent years suggests that language learning is related to improved cognitive
abilities such as attentional control, memory, problem solving, and verbal and spatial abilities.

TH!NK
This course is a part of the NC State effort to enhance students’ critical and creative thinking skills. As a student in this course, you have some
special responsibilities in helping us assess the effectiveness of teaching and learning for the critical and creative thinking (TH!NK) initiative.
Each student will receive an email Deborah Moore, Assistant Director of the Office of Assessment, asking you to take an on-line self-assessment
at the start and end of the semester. This will take less than 10 minutes, does not affect your grade, and is important in evaluating the success of
the program. To receive credit for participation, you must complete the self-assessment online within the requested timeframe. Once you have
completed the assessment, your instructor member will be notified. Some of the assignments that are a part of this class will also be shared with
the Office of Assessment. Your work will remain confidential. Your work will never be reported on individually, but may be part of a group report
after identifying information is removed.

Instructions for Completing iLrn Activities 1. Go to http://ilrn.heinle.com/, log in and select your class. The iLrn code for your class is: AHHKN393. See the invitation on Moodle for
instructions on creating account.
2. Click on the right hand side: Assignment Calendar.
3. Click on any day in the Calendar to see what activities are due. Activities must be completed before class on the day they are assigned
in order to receive credit.
You can do your iLrn assignments from any computer or other device that accesses the Internet through a reliable Internet browser such as
Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.
If you experience connectivity or any other type of problem with your own computer, it is your responsibility to complete assignments by the
established deadlines. Therefore, do not wait until the last minute to try and complete your activities. If you experience problems, use a computer
in one of the NCSU libraries or computer labs. You may consult the following website to find a computer lab close to you:
http://go.ncsu.edu/complabs.
The only tech excuse we accept for not completing online activities on time is if the iLrn website itself goes down.
A Note about Technology-Enhanced Language Classes
FLF 212 utilizes an online software program called iLrn on which you will complete homework exercises and have access to study materials.
Learning French by means of a computer-enhanced course will provide the following advantages:
Self-pacing. You can take the time you need to do the online portion of the course as long as you complete the assignments before the
deadlines.
Preparedness. Learning a language successfully requires consistent work and effort (not last minute cramming before a quiz). Having to
complete assignments in iLrn on a regular basis will help you to keep up with the course material, to come to class better prepared, and to
improve your chances of success in learning French.
Immediate feedback. iLrn grades your homework exercises instantly and tells you which items are wrong.
Easy access. You can do your homework from any computer that accesses the Internet through a reliable Internet browser such as Firefox,
Safari, or Google Chrome. First, you must create a user account. To do so, you will need the book keys (textbook and workbook) provided in
the 201 package. Please refer to the iLrn invitation for information on creating an account if you do not have already have one.
The work to be completed prior to coming to class is listed in the assignment calendar of iLrn. Although your instructor will show you how to find
out what work is due when, you simply log into iLrn and go to the class site, then click on the assignment calendar. Click on any day and it will
show you the activities are due that day at midnight. You have three attempts and your highest grade will be accepted.
CLASS FORMAT/GRADING
The format of this class is based on research insights that the best way to learn a foreign language is through repeated, meaningful exposure to the
language as well as for opportunities to interact with others, even at the beginning levels. For this reason, class time will be dedicated to
communicating in French using the relevant structures and vocabulary. The role of the instructor in the classroom is that of “communication
facilitator.” Your instructor will not provide extensive grammar or vocabulary instruction. This is the role of technology and your interaction with
it. If you desire help with grammar and/or vocabulary, see your instructor during his/her office hours. Instructors follow the policy of “no English
in class” for themselves. That is, they will only use French. It is up to you to seek clarification and raise your hand if you do not understand
something. Within about one week, you should be familiar with the class format and daily expectations. Furthermore, you are expected to come
prepared, to participate and to contribute, and in the process are expected to be respectful of your peers and assist in the establishment and
maintenance of a positive learning environment. Your instructor reserves the right to prohibit behaviors that she or he deems inappropriate (e.g.,
eating during class, texting and so forth).
Course Components & Grading Scale:
Your final grade will be determined from the following components:
Lesson Quizzes 40%
iLrn Activities 20%

B+ = 87.0-89.9 B = 83.0-86.9 B- = 80.0-82.9
C+ = 77.0-79.9 C = 73.0-76.9 C- = 70.0-72.9
D+ = 67.0-69.9 D = 63.0-66.9 D- = 60.0-62.9
F = 59.9 and below
Online/Out-of-class Work
There are four types of out-of-class work in your book, on the iLrn website, and on Moodle:
Reading & self-teaching. Before doing your homework, you should read the pages recommended in the course program at the end of this
document and try to teach yourself the vocabulary and grammar in them.
Online exercises in iLrn. These activities help you practice what you have taught yourself while reading the textbook. They can be found
in your iLrn account by clicking on “Assignment Calendar” on the right side of the screen. All iLrn activities are automatically graded,
thereby providing you with instant feedback.
Instructions for Completing iLrn Activities
1. Go to http://ilrn.heinle.com/, log in and select your class.
2. Click on the right hand side: Assignment Calendar.
3. Click on any day in the Calendar to see what activities are due. Activities must be completed by midnight on the day they are
assigned in order to receive credit.
You can do your iLrn assignments from any computer or other device that accesses the Internet through a reliable Internet browser
such as Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome.
If you experience connectivity or any other type of problem with your own computer, it is your responsibility to complete assignments
by the established deadlines. Therefore, do not wait until the last minute to try and complete your activities. If you experience
problems, use a computer in one of the NCSU libraries or computer labs. You may consult the following website to find a computer
lab close to you: http://go.ncsu.edu/complabs.
The only tech excuse we accept for not completing online activities on time is if the iLrn website itself goes down.
Journals. You will sign up for the class Twitter feed on which you read and (re)tweet articles about French innovations, science,
technology, and society. You must read at least one article per week, summarize it, determine the article’s merit based on the TH!NK
intellectual standards, and reflect on the article’s relevance to the course content in your journal. You will turn this in at the end of each
week for review by the instructor.
Google Docs. Before visitor presentations you will complete Google docs to prepare yourselves. These are a significant part of your grade
and must be completed by 8 am on the day of the presentation or you will earn a zero. There are no dropped presentation preparations.
Chapter Quizzes
There are no mid-term or final exams in this course. Instead, there are five chapter quizzes that correspond with the textbook lessons. They are
announced on the syllabus and will be on Moodle. If you cannot take an announced quiz due to a documented emergency, written proof of the
circumstances must be presented to your instructor no later than one week after you return to class. See the “Missed Quizzes / Missed
Assignment” section for details.
Final Projects
Your final projects will help you take control of the presentations at the end of the semester, allowing you to prepare a presentation in the course.
It would be helpful to begin thinking about any Francophone contacts you have in the region related to science and technology. Part of your final
project includes a reflection of work using the standards of critical and creative thinking. These standards include: raising questions, formulating
problems, understanding context, gathering and assessing relevant information, synthesizing and generating multiple ideas, considering
alternatives, reaching reasoned conclusions and choosing a solution or approach, and effectively communicating and elaborating. Reflecting on
your entire research process, findings, and final project, you will delineate how you incorporated these lines of thinking into your own work. You
should keep notes over the course of the semester on any relevant sources that you used and/or did not use, discuss how you selected your visitor,
which selection criteria you considered and why, the intended audience for your project, compare and contrast your options, consider alternate
directions in which your project could go, and how your visitor contributed to the overall course. This reflection of work should be written
individually and will be due with the group portion of your final project. We will discuss the assignment further in class.
COURSE POLICIES
Attendance/Class Performance
Learning French involves both developing a mental representation of language as well as developing skill. In order for skill to develop, you must
attend class consistently and participate in the interactive goal-oriented activities of each lesson. Each day your instructor will take attendance. In
addition, if you are fifteen minutes or more late to class, this is considered an absence. Likewise, if you leave early without prior excuse, you
will be marked as absent. There is no make-up for attendance.
Please note that your instructor reserves the right to:
a. deny entrance to any student arriving to class 15 minutes late or more, and
b. dismiss anyone from a given class whom the instructor deems as disruptive.
In both a and b, the student would be listed as “absent” for the day.
Students are allowed three (3) absences before their final grade is affected. Any absence after the first three will cost you 1% of your final grade.
Thus, if your final grade is 92% and you have one absence beyond the three freebies, your final grade will be 91%. Thus, two such absences cost
you 2% of your final grade, three absences cost you 3% of your final grade, and so on. We will make no exceptions to this policy.
Note that we do not excuse absences. This is for two reasons. The first is that our attendance policy is rather generous as is. The second is that
there is no work to make up from class. That is, a student cannot not make up “class performance” if the student is not there.
Cell Phones and Electronic Devices
The use of cell phones and electronic devices, including computers, should be limited in class. These devices ARE allowed to be used to search
dictionaries, in Twitter activities, and to use the textbook. ANY other use in prohibited unless expressly indicated by the professor. If you have a
medical or family emergency and need to receive a call during class, you should inform your instructor before class. Students who inappropriately
use cell phones and electronic devices in class will be dismissed from class and counted as being absent for the day. There are no exceptions to
this policy.
Missed Quizzes /Assignments
Any student who misses class for a scheduled assignment will receive a zero even if s/he was absent the day it was announced unless:
- In advance the student informs the instructor of the absence and provides acceptable documentation, such as an official note on NCSU
letterhead, a wedding invitation with your name on it, a program from funeral, or the name of the religious holiday that they will observe.
- Within one week of an unforeseen absence the student provides documentation, such as medical excuses in writing on physician’s
letterhead including the date(s) the student could not attend class. Letters from parents or personal statements are not acceptable. There
are no exceptions to this policy.
- No assignment will be accepted over a week after its due date. In case of an excused absence, students will need to set up a timetable with
their instructor for the missing assignment(s).
Extra Credit
There are no opportunities for extra credit in this course. The best way to improve your grade is to complete all assignments on time, actively
participate in class, and to ask for assistance from your instructor during his or her office hours.
E-mailing Your Instructor
Please use your NCSU account when e-mailing your instructor. If you use a personal e-mail account (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, gmail), your instructor
will not know whether the message is junk mail, and therefore, may not respond.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE POLICIES
CHASS Foreign Language Computer Labs
If you do not have access to a computer with speakers, you can complete iLrn exercises in a CHASS Foreign Language Computer Lab, either in
the Laundry Lab (LAU 214: Language and Computer Building at the corner of Stinson & Current Drives) or the Withers Lab (WI 131). For more
information, see: http://go.ncsu.edu/complabs.
French Club
Consider joining the French Club, which meets every other Wednesday in Withers Hall at 4:30 pm. You will have extra exposure to the language
and culture. There is no cost, and you are welcome to any of these meetings. Your instructor will let you know when and where the first meeting
will take place next fall.
Study Abroad in France–Paris-Normandy/Lille Summer Program 2017
This long-running program includes a four-day study tour in Paris and Normandy where we will see many of the highlights of Paris, visit some of
the cultural treasures of France such as Versailles and Etretat, and then enjoy a one month stay in the cosmopolitan city of Lille where students
will earn six credits, go on exciting field trips, and be immersed in French daily life. You will see and learn more about France in five weeks than
most people do in a lifetime.”
UNIVERSITY POLICIES
Academic Integrity
Use traditional or online dictionaries to find French or English equivalents for individual words such as http://www.wordreference.com. DO NOT
use online translators for phrases or sentences. The results are poor and also violate Academic Integrity regulations. The students and the
professor will follow both the spirit and letter of the NCSU Code of Student Conduct. It is the understanding and expectation on the part of the
professor that the student’s name/signature on any test or assignment means that the student has neither given nor received any unauthorized aid
including from translators. Although students are encouraged to discuss with others, they must complete and turn in their own work. The complete
Code of Student Conduct can be found at: https://policies.ncsu.edu/policy/pol-11-35-01.
Students with Disabilities
Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities. Students with diagnosed disabilities should schedule an
appointment with the professor at the beginning of the semester to discuss reasonable academic accommodations after the professor receives
official documentation from the DSO office. Students without official documentation need to register in Suite 1900, Student Health Center
Campus Box 7509 (See http://www.ncsu.edu/dso/students or call 515-7653, voice and 515-8830, TTY). Students with particular learning
styles/needs should inform the professor at the beginning of the course.
Diversity Policy
This course fosters free and open dialogue, the acceptance and discussion of different opinions, and mutual respect among class members. Please
consult NC State regulations at: http://oied.ncsu.edu/oied/diversity.php .
Incomplete Grades
Incomplete grades will be given only when a student cannot complete the course due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond his/her control and
has done most of the course work.
Online Course Evaluations
Online course evaluations will be available for students to complete during the last 2 weeks of the semester and become unavailable before finals
begin. Students will receive an e-mail message directing them to a website where they can log in using their Unity ID and complete evaluations.
At the end of the semester, your instructor will leave the room and give you an opportunity to complete the class evaluation during class time. All
evaluations are confidential; instructors will not know how any one student responded to any question, and students will not know the ratings for
any instructor.
