***SPRING 2007 CLASS INFO AND UPDATES***

Students in FRE 101 and FRE 102: Our textbook "Allons-y" is a special customized version for EKU, containing parts of the textbook and workbook bound together, with CDs, into a Volume I (used for both FRE 101 and FRE 102) and a Volume II  (used for both 201 and 202).  No other versions or editions of "Allons-y" will be acceptable, so please do NOT decide to buy it online.

Students in FRE 201 and 202: The textbook is "Allons-y" in a special customized version for EKU, containing parts of the textbook and workbook bound together, with CDs, into a Volume II (which you will use for both FRE 201 and FRE 202).  No other versions or editions of "Allons-y" will be acceptable, so please do NOT decide to buy it online.

Students in FRE 320 Business French:  The textbook is Business French: An Intermediate Course by Jean-Luc Penfornis, along with an in-text CD and the Student Activities Manual.  The three items are available as a package (ISBN-10: 0-618-75046-0).  Each student must also have a good French-English dictionary such as one of the Oxford/Hachette versions.                                                                                                                                                     

        (Any student who wishes to take FRE 320 and has a problem enrolling in it should e-mail me to ask about a possible override.)

 

For information about FRE 204 Review Grammar or about FRE 302 Survey of French Literature II, get in touch with Dr. Dorothy Carter.  FCC 220 is not being offered in Spring 2007 but will be available in Fall 2007.

FRE 101:  11:15-12:05 MWF  in Case Annex 159

FRE 201:  12:20-1:10 MWF  in Case Annex 159

FRE 202: 12:30-1:45 TR  in Case Annex 159

Please Note:

My Usual Office Hours are:

MWF: 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. 

TR: 10:30 - 12:00 a.m. and 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.
 

Other hours available upon request!
 
 

Plan ahead!  There will not be any French courses offered
at EKU-Richmond in the summer.

You may earn 6 hours credit with our KIIS program in France any summer.  (We expect to have quite a few students going to Paris with KIIS in summer 2007 since Dr. Carter will be one of the teachers!) 

For information about specific course offerings and the cost of the
KIIS program, ask your instructor about a brochure.
You may also visit the KIIS website (see above for link).
Application deadline:  February 15!

    Meanwhile, here at EKU in Fall 2006, we are offering
FRE 101, FRE 102, FRE 201, FRE 202,
FCC 220 French Culture and Civilization (taught in English),
and two courses at the 300/400 level:
FRE 340 French Phonetics
FRE 301 Survey of French Literature I

    Note:  Both FRE 340 and FRE 360 are required for the French major.
    FRE 360 French Grammar was offered in Spring 2006 and will probably be offered next in fall 2007.
FRE 340 will probably not be offered again until spring 2008.

Note:  We ordinarily offer FRE 101, FRE 102, FRE 201, FRE 202, and FCC 220 every spring and also every fall, in addition to other courses at the 200 level and the 300 or 400 level, according to the needs of the students in our program and to availability of faculty.  It is possible that we will offer FRE 204 Review of French Grammar in spring 2007 and that we will not offer FCC 220 during that semester.  If you need to take FCC 220 during the 2006-2007 academic year, you should take it this fall.

For Fall 2006 we are offering the following courses:
FRE 101, FRE 102, FRE 201, all on MWF sequence,
FRE 202 (
12:30-1:45 TR)
FCC 220 French Culture and Civilization (2:30-3:20 MWF)
FRE 301 Survey of French Literature I (12:30-1:45 TR)
FRE 340 French Phonetics (
2:00-3:15 TR)
    

FCC 220 is a required supporting course for the French certificate, the minor, and the major.  It can also satisfy a general education requirement.   

If you are attempting to complete a major in French
but are not currently enrolled in a French course,
please stay in touch with us so that we can take your needs into consideration
when planning future course offerings!


HOW TO DECLARE A FRENCH MAJOR, MINOR, OR CERTIFICATE:

Download and print the Declaration/Change of Major Form which you will find online at <www.advising.eku.edu/changemajor>

If you wish to declare a French major, first print out a "What-If" CARES report to see what courses will be required.  If you are interested in a minor or certificate in French, see the requirements listed above.

There is not a specific line on the form for declaring a certificate.  Use the line for "second minor" and print CERTL-FRCC, Certificate in French Conversation and Culture.  

After filling out the form, return it to the Office of Academic Advising, Student Services Building, room 347 (or you may fax it to 859-622-5887).
