Prerequisite(s): Restricted to students taking Education .404 whose 

Faculty Associates recommend this course for them. Not for credit

II ENROLMENT AND SCHEDULING 

Estimated Enrolment: 15 

Semester Offered (e.g. Yearly, every Spring; twice yearly, Fall and Spring): 

Summer only 

When course will first be offered: 74-2 

III JUSTIFICATION 

A.

What is the detailed description of the course including differentiation 

from lower level courses, from similar courses in the same department 

and from courses in other departments in the University? 

Differs from other French language courses in that, rather than training 

students for further study in Linguistics or Literature, it is a program 

for students whose prior training has not included sufficient mastery,of 

the language to meet the needs of the oral French program in B.C. schools. 

B.

What is the range of topics that may be dealt with in the course? 

Specific problems in French grammar and pronunciation arising from the 

weaknesses in the students' owncompetence - oral and written. 

C.

How does this course fit the goals of the department? 

Does not count towards a Major or Honors in French. 

D.

How does this course affect degree requirements? 

It increases the electives available. 

E.

What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the addition of 

this course? 

Addition only. 

F.

What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar if this 

course is approved? 

None. 

C. ? 

What is the nature of student demand for this course? 

Students in Education 404 have widely varied backgrounds in French; 

having already faced classes in their practicum some are very con- 

•

scious of deficiencies in their language competence. 

H. ? 

Other reasons for introducing the course. 

Strongly urged by Faculty of Education. 

IV BUDGETARY AND SPACE FACTORS 

A.

?

Which faculty will be available to teach this course? 

Although the material obviously falls within the competence of a 

number of DML faculty,. current and projected summer offerings make 

assuring this course difficult unless the joint DML/Faculty of 

Education post and lecturer positions already requested are forth- 

cçming. Alternatively, a sessional lecturer (each and every summer) 

would be required.

FRENCH 303 - COURSE OUTLINE 

.

Given the nature of the course, it is difficult to establish 

a firm outline since the cont'nt of the course will depend upon 

the secxfi.c weaknesses in the competence and performance of the 

jndi.vdual students involved. The following (by no means exhaus- 

tiv(!) is typical and even probable. 

Phonetics 

Corrective phonetics based upon a review of French phonology 

and the problems of articulation, with particular attention to 

the phonetic phenomena of rounding, fortis and lenis articulation, 

intonation, stress, liaison, hesitation forms and 'paralinguistic' 

phonic forms. 

Grammar 

a)

The morphophonemic system of French adjectives and nouns in 

the oral as opposed to the written code. 

b)

Problems of 

concord 

in oral and written French and the impli- 

cations of grammatical gender as opposed to semantic gender. 

c)

Review of the tense system and tense usage; the sequence of 

tenses; the use of the subjunctive. 

d)

The tense system of written French and the rules of written 

tense sequences. 

Tii1te

as a seitiantie notion; its exnonenc 

?

dnrti,e,

ierid.c 

punctual, progressive, etc.). Grammatical exponence in 

other than the verb system. 

f)

Emphasis in French; contrast of the syntactic and phonetic 

means to achieve em 

p

hasis; the problem of tonic and atonic 

stress as related to aliomorhy in grammatical systems. 

g)

Causativity and passivization; the semantic and grammatical 

problems involved in their exponence. 

h)

Problems of quantitivization; partitives and. the use of 

determiners and quantifiers. 

i)

Word-order; the problems of adjective placement, ordering of 

complements, subordination and the structure of periods. 

j)

Problems relating to relativizat.ion and attendant problems 

of concord in the written and oral code. 

Semantics and lexicologv 

basic vocabulary problems and the common errors of lexical 

misaiiqnment

as they affect the performance of non-native French 

speakurs. Problems of homophony, hOmonymny and synonymy. 

Lexical fields as the basis of vocabulary retention.

III JUSTIFICATION 

A.

What is the detailed description of the course including differentiation 

from lower level courses, from similar courses in the same department 

and from courses in other departments in the University? 

There are no similar lower level courses. The new Linguistics 411-3, 

its companion course, deals with the practical aspects of second 

language acquisition. Education is offering (as I understand it this 

summer only) 

'a course in second language teaching, but its emphasis is 

not linguistic. 

B.

What is the range of topics that may be dealt with in the course? 

1) Linguistics theories and theories of language acquisition. 2) The 

non-linguistic context in language acquisition. 3) Psycholinguistic 

and neurophysiological aspects of second language learning. 4) Linguistic 

interference. 5) The learning of the four language skills. 6) The 

learning of second language phonology, grammar and lexicon. 7) Theoretical 

aspects of. second language testing. .8) Individualized and programmed 

second language learning. 9) Research and experimentation in second 

language learning.

2.

C. how 

does, 

this course fit the goals of the department? 

It .   

permits language majors and minors, many of whom are going to he secc- d 

language teachers, 

,

become cognizant or 

the theories in that field. 

D.

how does this course affect degree requirements? 

Expands Linguistics electives. 

E.

What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the 

addition of this course? 

Replacement of Linguistics 426-5 with two 3-hour courses, Linguistics 410-i 

and Linguistics 411-3. 

.F. What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar 

if this course is approved? 

Linguistics 

426-5. 

C. What is the nature of stuent demand for this course? 

We expect a minimum of 30 students per session including our major;, 

or minors, and students in the PDP.

When the Faculty of Education revised its undergraduate curriculum 

we intentionally did not mount courses in second language teaching because 

we preferred to collaborate with the DML in the preparation f second 

language teachers. It was (arid is) our impression that the DML had among 

its faculty members several people competent in this area. in fact, 

several have contributed to teacher education by offering seminars for and 

supervising the study of PDP students. 

The Faculty of Education expects courses in second language teaching 

to be made available through the DML and I will appreciate anything you 

can do to facilitate the approval of such courses

III JUSTIFICATION 

A. What is the detailed description of the course including differentiation 

from lower level courses, from similar courses in the same department 

and from courses in other departments in the University? 

There are no other courses at SFU designed to orient the prospective 

teacher of English as a second language. Linguistics 410 and 411 would 

offer related experience but not specifically for the teaching of English. 

The English Department offers a structure course (212) but does not deal 

with pedagogy. Education students come to DML for such courses. Reading 

and Study offers a non-credit course in which 412 students might parti- 

cipate as assistants.

.

?

The teaching of English a) phonology b) morphology c) syntax.

materials for the teaching of English as a second language.

S1iLON FRASER UNIVERSITY

MEMORANDUM

From,

Perry L. Franklin 

Director, Reading and Study Centre 

Date......

April ? 

5,

?

1973......................... 

The

position of

the Reading and 

Study Centre for the proposal for 

Linguistics 411-3 is the same as it was 

for Linguistics 429-5. 

?

That is, 

a course that deals with the teaching 

(application) of information is 

not complete without a practicum; 

?

for

this gives meaning to the theory 

expressed in the classroom. 

Also, Simon

Fraser University students 

in the Reading and Study 

Centre's English,Language Program have 

been helped in the past by in- 

dividual

tutoring given by students in 

a comparable course given by 

DML (Linguistics 

429-5)- 

and

I strongly 

urge this symbiotic relationship 

be continucd by the approval of Linguistics 41-3.
