Aim of the course -

* be able to write a shorter résumé, summarize the content of the article orally, discuss it and give your own comment

* improve your communication skills and gain more confidence when speaking

* consolidate more complex grammatical and lexical structures

* learn to think about grammatical phenomena within the text and be able to derive grammatical rules or regularities independently

Literature -

In French courses you work mainly with authentic didactic materials of teachers, which are continuously published on a shared Google Drive (L. Bosáková) or in MOODLE (M. Dundrová), where you can also find up-to-date information about the dates of tests or presentations and about the results and evaluation of your work.

Consult with a Czech version.

The study materials used in the classes are solely for the use of the students of the French JLBO35 course. Any circulation of the materials is prohibited.

Teaching methods -

A seminar based on text and video analysis followed by a discussion and oral and/or written summary; students will be encouraged to communicate and work in pairs or small groups; an active approach is required from students

There are situations and contexts within this course where you will be encouraged to use AI tools to explore how they can be used. This will only be done on a voluntary basis. Outside of those circumstances, you are asked not to use AI tools to generate content (text, video, audio, images) that will end up in any student work (assignments, activities, responses, etc) that is part of your evaluation in this course.

 

When practising your language skills, it is ok to use AI to support your language development. You can use it for brainstorming, creating outlines, even when training written production. Remember it is not ok, however, to use AI to think for us or to do the hard work of figuring out how to express our ideas in our writing. WRITING = THINKING.

 

As with all sources that are used in writing, your own words and thoughts should provide the bulk of your writing. If we wanted to know how Gen AI would write for example an essay, we would ask it. In our class, we are interested in how YOU write an essay and we want to hear your unique voice.

 

Any student  work submitted using AI tools should clearly indicate what work is the student’s work, what part is generated by the AI, which prompts have been used and how you worked with the generated content.  In such cases, no more than 25% of the student work should be generated by AI. Academically honest use of Gen AI includes providing a full transcript of any Gen AI generated content between you and the Gen AI as part of your working document using the correct citing format.

 

As far as teachers’ work with AI is concerned, any use of artificial intelligence tools will be carried out in a way that protects students' personal data. Student work will not be used to train AI models.

More information about AI use can be found in the guidelines set by FSV UK and ethical recommendations provided by Charles University

Entry requirements -

Enrolment is conditional on passing a grammar and lexical entrance test, Intermediate level, ie. A2+,B1 according to CEFL is required.

The test will be written for all students on THURSDAY,  25 September 2025 in JINONICE, classroom B 328  9:00-9:40, 9:50-10:30, 10:40-11:20 ; it isn´t necessary to sign up for it

Due to the fact that the number of students interested in the courses of French language exceeds their capacity, it is necessary to participate in the entrance test to decide who will be admitted to the course and who will not. The time limit of the grammar test is 40 minutes.  In solely exceptional cases it is possible to write the test during our consultation hours. In such a case you need to contact us in advance at lada.bosakova@fsv.cuni.cz, milena.dundrova@fsv.cuni.cz. It is impossible to write the test in any additional periods due to organizational reasons. The tests will be promptly evaluated and only if you be successful, you will be admitted to the course.

You can find the model test in SIS.

The intensive course : Týdenní intenzivní kurz francouzštiny JLB112 is recommended (revisions lessons during a week) before the entrance test (15/9-19/9 2025; it is necessary to sign up in SIS for it).
