FREN 013. L’Atelier: French Oral Production Workshop

“L’Atelier” (FREN 13.001, 13.002, 13.003) is a mandatory recorded speaking practice workshop attachment to all elementary and intermediate French-language courses that takes place once every two weeks. Several 60-minute sessions will be offered to maximize student participation. It is designed with a dual purpose of reinforcing grammatical structures and thematic vocabulary being studied in the main course and with a view to long-term benefits in terms of enhanced fluency, pronunciation and intonation practice, phonetic accuracy, and general speaking and listening skills. These include increased confidence and autonomy in spoken communication, both in the form of one-way speaking and two-way interaction since many activities simulate real-life dialogues. After being provided with a different online worksheet each time, students will record themselves when ready and submit their recordings electronically. Each student’s audio file will then be graded, and feedback will be provided for content, grammar, and phonetic review. FREN 013 is offered fall and spring semesters.
