Brief Introduction (1st)

Introduction (15-20 min):

At the initial stage, the instructor will review basic vocabulary and grammar that are necessary for constructing conversations (e.g., le passé composé, les pronoms objets, les comparatifs). The instructor will interact with students by practising dialogues in textbooks (each students will take turn). Besides answering questions of the instructor, students may also pose questions to the instructor. The dialogue may address self-introduction, hobbies, favourite food, sports, and other routines. The instructor will give feedback on students’ performance. At the end of this section, the instructor will play a YouTube video, which helps French oral practice. Students are not required to watch it.

Learning Outcomes:

• Expand the necessary vocabulary to construct and respond to a francophone conversation.
• Improve and develop a more authentic French pronunciation (French standard).

Assessment (5%):

The instructor will give feedback on the student’s participation, which accounts for 5% in total grade.
