GISDepartment of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies

This course is designed for beginners (or more advanced students). The aim of this course is to help students acquire basic skills of communication. In our epoch of "globalization", knowledge of only one foreign language (for example, English) is far from sufficient.
By learning French, students will have more opportunities to work on the world stage.

The goal of this course is to develop basic daily communication skills:
asking for information, answering questions, speaking about oneself, and understanding simple texts.

Will be able to gain “DP 3”.

英語 / English

Mr.Okamura (French BI) and I will use the same text book (see below) and conduct the class in relay. The students will learn all basic skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing although learning of practical skills takes precedence in this course. (Mr. Okamura will rather focus on learning the grammar. It is therefore required that the students attend both of the courses). Active participation is necessary not only for the acquisition of communicative skills through various means (e.g. role-playing), but for an understanding of French culture or that of other French-speaking countries.
The students will get information about the course by way of Learning Management System (LMS).
During the semester, the students are required to submit several assignments through LMS. They will get them back equally through LMS.

Progress will be assessed by classwork and assignments. A term-end examination will be held. Continuous assessment: 50%; term-end examination: 50%. If the term-end examination is not possible to organize, the grade will be given on the basis of the accumulation of assignments. Students must work routinely at home: they must read aloud expressions and sentences given in the textbook. They must be able to use them in oral or writing class activities. Active participation in role-playing is important.

The covid 19 situation has caused some problems on a larger or smaller scale: confusion of schedule because of the alternation of online classes and face-to-face classes, awkwardness of class activities especially on oral level because of distance between students in the classroom, etc. I will try to create an optimum situation which can facilitate students' class performance.

Students should also attend Mr.Okamura's course French BI.

None.
