This is a collection of several handouts that grew over the years. Some sections are more practical for F491/492 students who are learning to translate French into English, and others are geared towards 100- and 200-level students who are learning to produce the various verb forms. It is fairly comprehensive, and a great reviewing tool for final exams.
This is another collection of comments I found myself repeating on students’ essays and journals. It is a bit dense, but I do believe that they are the most common mistakes that recur in students’ writing. Worth looking through before the first big writing assignment, and before submitting each draft of a composition. In a similar vein is this writing checklist I inherited from a colleague, but I do not know its original source.
When students are preparing for a major oral project or exam, it has often been useful to review the major trouble spots of French pronunciation for American speakers. This handout accompanies a class-length “workshop” of practice sentences to help refine pronunciation.
