Business French will concern, especially, how to communicate in a business context. We are concerned with both communication within a company and without. Through coursework, experience abroad, and other cultural encounters, the Modern Languages Program cultivates communicative skills and cultural awareness that prepare students at Western Kentucky University to be more knowledgeable and sensitive citizens of the global community. |

Tests, quizzes and worksheets: Quizzes and worksheets will be numerous, and will be given as often as possible. Worksheets may be retaken. Quizzes may not be made up, neither may they be retaken. There will be no make up tests. If you anticipate a problem with taking an exam when it is scheduled, or if you should miss an exam, contact me at your earliest opportunity. |

Participation and attendance: class participation is essential; speaking French at every opportunity will help a student with his/her oral practice. Class attendance is not optional. Class attendance is not graded. A student receives no credit merely for attending. Class attendance is, however, a necessary condition for class participation, which will be graded. |

A Project will be required. It will take the form of a PowerPoint presentation that covers any matter related to the course content and approved by the instructor. A rubric exists that sets forth the criteria for the presentation as an exercise in technology. (A second project will be required as an honors component for honors credit.) |
