The core text book for this course is C. Abbadie et al., L’Expression française écrite et orale (Grenoble: PUG 2002) available in International Books. Class exercises will be taken from this book and students will prepare a series of exercises based on the grammar topic of the lecture. Students should also have Hawkins and Towell French Grammar and Usage as a reference grammar, in addition to the Bescherelle: La Conjugaison pour tous (Paris: Hatier,1997) and Humbertsone’s Mot à mot (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1996). Students are expected to acquire and familiarise themselves with a good monolingual dictionary. Le Petit Robert is recommended; if that is ruled out on grounds of expense, Le Micro Robert is an acceptable substitute for most purposes. Composition and Written Expression Class Students also attend a weekly language class with a member of the lecturing staff or a graduate teaching assistant. The dossier for this class should be downloaded from the Departmental website. This course aims to develop reading and writing skills, and to introduce students to the exercises of translation, résumé and essay writing among others. NB. Work submitted for this class counts for 16.66% of the overall language mark for the year. This is calculated on the basis of marks awarded for eight mandatory assignments (‘Contrôle continu’). These eight marks in total will constitute the final continuous assessment mark. Late submission: Unless there is a medical reason for late submission (justified by a medical cert), class tutors may reasonably refuse to correct work handed up after the time they have set aside for doing so. If a student cannot produce a medical cert, he or she must obtain permission to submit from the Head of Department. Oral Language Class Students attend a weekly class with the French lecteurs / lectrices. Through discussion concerning aspects of contemporary France, this class aims to develop aural comprehension and oral expression. Since this is your only contact hour with native speakers, and your only chance to speak French in a small-group environment, it is vital that you attend on a weekly basis and participate regularly. Non-attendance will be taken very seriously by the Department.

Personal study.

All of these courses run throughout the year, with weekly lectures and weekly seminars. For each course that the student takes, an essay of 2,000-2,500 words must be submitted. Students therefore write two essays during the year. Rather than submitting them both together, the deadlines are spread out (see below). Students can decide which Option essay they will submit first. Students cannot submit both essays at the same time. Essay titles are appended. Deadlines: MT essays: by noon on Monday 14 January 2012 HT essays: by noon on Friday 22 March 2013 • One piece of assessed work must be submitted in French. Students may choose which of the two pieces they wish to write in French. • In marking these essays, 70% of the mark is given to content, and 30% to the French language. • Such work must be word-processed. Students must include an electronic word count with their essays. Essays of excess length will be returned and resubmission required. • For essay writing guidelines, please refer to the comprehensive document circulated in JF (available on the Local pages of the French department website). This document also contains guidelines on referencing conventions and the presentation of material. *** Study Skills: Students should be aware that Trinity College Dublin is currently subscribed to Skills4studycampus, a fully interactive e-learning resource, which helps students to develop the study skills they need to be successful at university and is suitable for students on all courses and in any year of study. It covers a range of core skills through a wide variety of interactive activities, tests and assessments. To access this resource, go to:
http://www.tcd.ie/Local and click on the Skills4Study link Students should use this resource in order to access information on, among other things, how to improve their note-taking skills, how to manage deadlines, and how to avoid plagiarism. *** FR2018: IDEAS INTO POLITICS (Dr Alyn Stacey, Dr Arnold, Dr Hanrahan, Dr Opelz) On successful completion of this module students will be able to: • Analyse critically and independently, in English and French, extracts from major historical, political and cultural texts and documents ranging from the 16th century to the 21st century • Demonstrate a broad knowledge of the historical, cultural and political development of France from the 16th to the 21st century, as reflected in the texts used in the course • Organise and present ideas in English and French, in writing and orally, within the framework of a structured and reasoned critical argument • Demonstrate an awareness of the relevant philosophical, political and historical approaches to ideas and social and political development of France from the 16th to the 21st century • Use the appropriate methodologies and relevant resources for the presentation of their work. • Produce essays in both English and French demonstrating the ability to organise, analyse and evaluate relevant material. • Use the appropriate methodologies and relevant resources for the presentation of their work The purpose of this course is twofold. Firstly, it aims to acquaint students with the ideological traditions of modern France, stretching back to the Renaissance and forward to the post-war period. Secondly, it aims to encourage close reading of texts, and to develop skills in the analysis of arguments, and of the suppositions and values embedded in them. This function is served primarily by the seminars. With the exception of Pascal’s Pensées and Voltaire’s Lettres philosophiques, all texts required for these will be available in the form of an Anthology available from the Departmental website. The Ideas section of the course-work annual examination comprises both essays and commentaries. For the commentaries, students will be asked to place the extract in its historical context; to analyse its contents; and to indicate its interest in relation to the themes of the course. Whether a particular subject-area is examined by essay or commentary may vary.
