Dans ce cours de transition on apprend à mieux communiquer en français, en étudiant les coutumes et la culture contemporaine.
On étudie aussi des
provinces et des pays francophones par l'Internet,
la littérature, le
journal, les magazines, la télévision et les films.
Pour ce cours, il faut avoir:
1) le
manuel scolaire: Ensemble, Culture et Société,
Comeau, Sixième édition
2) le manuel littéraire: Collage: lectures littéraires, Baker
3) un bon dictionnaire. (Larousse, Robert, Collins, etc.)
4) des cahiers personnels
The selections in Ensemble were chosen for their intrinsic cultural value and for their various forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, travel guides, literary works, excerpts from essays, interviews, and cartoons. They are thought-provoking, sometimes humorous and often controversial, thus sparking lively discussion and debate in class. Literary selections in Collage will help students see French-speaking cultures from an insider's perspective and will give deeper insight and understanding of the French psyche.
For your laboratory reports, you will have card access to the lab rooms MHA 301 & 302, and also access to MHA 304, where the TV5 receiver is located.
