FRENCH 1A: HOMESTUDY

ASSIGNMENTS

The following pages contain: 1) a list of assignments for each chapter and 2) the answers to the textbook exercises. Use them to correct your work immediately after doing each exercise. Answers to some of the exercises are not included, as there are no fixed answers. These are usually personalized exercises, meant to be practiced orally. Be sure to prepare these exercises thoroughly as they will help develop your speaking skills and will also help prepare you for the oral part of the midterm and final exams.

While most of the material in each chapter is assigned, be sure to consult the Study Guide each time you begin a new chapter to see what material, if any, has been omitted. Note that you are responsible for the cultural information in each chapter, as well as the grammar and vocabulary. Test questions regarding cultural material will be of a general nature.

When you have completed all of the written and oral exercises for each chapter in the workbook, detach the pages from your workbook, staple them together, and turn them in to the Language Lab as instructed during your orientation. Remember that you do not turn in the textbook exercises. They are meant to be self-corrected and used as a study aid.

CHAPTER 1 ASSIGNMENT

CHAPITRE 1, LeÔøΩon 1

As you do each part of the assignment, check the item off. When youÔøΩve completed all of the assignments for Chapitre 1:

Turn the Workbook/Lab Manual exercises in to the Homestudy Assignment Box in the Language Lab by the due date listed on your schedule of assignments.

Chapitre 1, LeÔøΩon 1

Textbook assignment:

____ 1. Look at the list of vocabulary words for this lesson on pages 38-39. Listen to the pronunciation of these words, which are recorded on Audio CD#6. If you didnÔøΩt purchase the text package with the Audio Program, you can listen to the cassette recording in the Language Lab. However, since youÔøΩll want to listen to this recording often, you should take a new blank CD to the Language Lab or AV desk in the Library and ask to have the vocabulary CD copied.

You should listen to each of the words or expressions and then repeat them out loud, paying close attention to pronunciation and intonation (the way the pitch of your voice rises and falls), especially at the end of an expression. Use a pencil to draw a line through any silent letters that you might have a tendency to pronounce, for example: Paris, janvier, prie, bientÔøΩt.

Likewise, you can underline any letter that you might tend to forget to pronounce.

You can also draw a little curved line to indicate a liaison (pronunciation of a final consonant
linking it to the vowel at the beginning of the following word), as in: les amis.

____ 2. Points de dÔøΩpart, pages 3-4

__ Read the narrative in this section.

__ Listen and repeat using the Supplemental CD (or cassette)... Be sure to draw a line through any silent letters that you might have a tendency to pronounce.

__ Do the corresponding written exercises for this lesson, which begin on page WB1.

You donÔøΩt need to attach a separate piece of paper for the Ecrivons section; you can write the paragraph in your workbook on page WB3. Please write neatly, leaving a space between lines. If you prefer, you can type the paragraph (double-spaced) and tape it to the page. DonÔøΩt forget the accents!

Chapitre 1, LeÔøΩon 1

Lab Manual assignment:

_____ 1. Using the CD's of the Audio Program, complete the oral comprehension exercises on pages LM1-LM3 of your Workbook/Lab Manual.

_____ 2. Correct your exercises using the Answer Key on page AK1. Be sure to correct using a different colored pen or pencil (but not red).

Remember that you're required to spend a minimum of six hours in the Language Lab during the first four weeks of the semester. Use the taped version of the Audio Program to record your voice after that of the native speaker and compare your accent and pronunciation. This is extremely important, as the pronunciation habits you're establishing now are those that will most likely continue throughout the course. It is very difficult to acquire the correct pronunciation of a word once you've learned it incorrectly.

The first time you use the lab, you'll need to fill out a timecard. Be sure to punch the card with the time clock when you begin lab practice and also when you've completed it.

Chapitre 1, LeÔøΩon 1

Vocabulary

_ Review the vocabulary for this leÔøΩon. You should know what the words mean in English, how to pronounce and spell them in French, and be able to use them in simple sentences.

Note: You can use the vocabulary CD to quiz yourself on the meaning of the recorded words. You can also use the recordings to test your spelling. Since the words are recorded in the same order as they appear in your book, you can use the tape as a kind of dictation exercise, listening to a word, stopping the machine and writing the word or expression. When youÔøΩve finished writing a group of words, verify their spelling by checking the printed list of words in your textbook.

Even if you donÔøΩt have a study partner, itÔøΩs important to practice the exercises meant for paired or group work aloud. DonÔøΩt just do the answers in your head; talk to yourself out loud. This is important for reinforcing both content and vocabulary. You need as much oral practice as you can get. If you have the time, and havenÔøΩt done so already, consider getting a tutor. It wonÔøΩt cost you anything at the college and will provide excellent practice and feedback.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have completed the first of six chapters assigned for French 1A. A good part of your preparation time for this chapter was spent learning how the course works, how to use the course tools, and figuring out the best and most efficient ways to study.

Since the remaining assignments follow the same patterns, you should find that youÔøΩll spend less time figuring things out and more time on the language itself. Consequently, your time will be spent much more efficiently.
