The course is intended only for beginners (all Bachelor's and Master's degree students) who intend to start studying French and thus expand their language skills with another world language. Students of Bachelor's degree programmes will be given precedence in the course enrollment.
Since student interest in this course exceeds its capacity, if you have studied French before, consider enrolling in the follow-up courses: Basics of the Language III JLB075 or French - Preparation for JLB035 with the code JLB121. Last update: Dundrová Milena, PhDr., Ph.D. (07.09.2025)

Teaching will take place using the textbook Edito A1, méthode de français. From the beginning, students will be led to independent thinking, so that on the basis of authentic materials they will be able to observe the grammatical principles of the French language, frame the rules and actively use them. A regular part of the course will be the comprehension of what is heard and written, and own oral and written production, through which students will gradually acquire the communication skills needed in everyday life situations. 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

Students will learn to introduce themselves and their families, provide basic information about themselves and ask the basic information about another person, orient themselves in time and space, be able to find one’s way in public transport, shops, restaurants or cafés. These basic communication topics of everyday life are connected with grammar (articles, noms, verbes réguliers et irréguliers au présent ; interrogation, adjectifs démonstratifs, pronom "en", nombres, expressions de quantité). You can find materials from each class in Moodle. We use Édito A1 (publ. 2018). Last update: Dundrová Milena, PhDr., Ph.D. (31.01.2025)
