Instructional methodology

In French 3, we cover Chapitres 8, 9,10 and Chapitres de révision of Horizons and we read selections from the reader C’est bien.

Our primary objective is to learn to communicate in French in this asynchronous online class. We will study vocabulary words and grammar rules with this end in mind.

The audio activities will help you with pronunciation and listening comprehension.

You should be prepared to spend a minimum of at least 15-20 hours per week studying, memorizing, and doing assignments to prepare for class. It is best to study a little each day.

To be successful in the course, YOU must make a commitment to study daily.

My goal is for each and every one of you to succeed in this course and learn what you need to know. I will help you learn and understand the material during office hours.

NOTE: since we do not meet as a class, you need to spend more time each day to do this program. If you feel you need extra help, you can find a French tutor at the Learning Labs. This service is free to ACC students.

Generative Artificial Intelligence Policy

Department of World Languages

Introduction

This policy outlines the rules and expectations for the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools in this course.

This course is designed to help students develop their language proficiency through personal effort, practice, and engagement with course materials. In order to preserve academic integrity and support authentic language acquisition, the use of GAI tools is not permitted for use in drafting, editing, translating, or completing any coursework unless specified otherwise by the instructor. All assessments—including written assignments, class exercises, quizzes, and exams—must be completed using your own original language skills.

The use of GAI in these assessments constitutes academic dishonesty. Submissions will be evaluated for evidence of authentic language production, and suspicious patterns may be subject to further review. Instructors may check whether students using vocabulary and grammar beyond the level of the course understand their use.

Definition

Generative Artificial Intelligence refers to any software or application capable of producing human-like text, translations, or corrections based on prompts or inputs. This includes, but is not limited to:

 AI language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Bing Copilot, Gemini)

 Machine translation tools (e.g., Google Translate, DeepL, Reverso)

 Browser translation features (such as in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and others)

 AI writing assistants or rewording tools (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, Wordtune)

Students are expected to use their textbook, course notes and handouts, dictionaries, or other reference materials to complete assignments. 

Consequences for Violations

Violation of this policy is considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in the following consequences:

- A grade of zero on the affected assignment or assessment

- A formal academic misconduct report filed with the College or university

- Failure of the course and additional institutional disciplinary action

Repeat violations may result in more serious penalties as determined by institutional policy.

Exceptions

Exceptions to this policy may be made only with prior documented approval from the instructor.

You should be prepared to spend a minimum of at least 15-20 hours per week studying, memorizing, and doing assignments to prepare for class. It is best to study a little each day.

To be successful in the course, YOU must make a commitment to study daily.

My goal is for each and every one of you to succeed in this course and learn what you need to know. I will help you learn and understand the material during office hours.

NOTE: since we do not meet as a class, you need to spend more time each day to do this program. If you feel you need extra help, you can find a French tutor at the Learning Labs. This service is free to ACC students.
