French Graduate Teaching Associates and our Rennes Lecturer will be available during the week for tutoring or conversation practice. For Spring Semester 2023, we are offering mostly in-person but also some online options for both types of support. Sessions are divided into 15-minute slots. You may sign up beforehand for both; you can also stop in at Crane Café for in-person sessions. Priority will be given to those who have signed up ahead of time if space becomes limited. 

Instructions:

1. Go to the Individualized Instruction Learning Center

2. Select "French Café+/Tutoring".

3. Choose Café+ or Tutoring.

4. Sign up for a time slot.

What is Café Plus?

FREE conversation table IN FRENCH for OSU students and interested public. Café + is an inter-level French conversation table sponsored and led by FIGSA (French and Italian Graduate Student Association).

Café+ Guidelines

Café + is designed especially for students taking 1000- to 3000-level courses in French, but other students are always welcome. Students in French 1101.01, 1102.01, 1103.01, and 1155.01 (but not those enrolled in .51 or .61 sections) may earn extra credit by attending.

What is required for participation?

Readiness to engage in conversations IN FRENCH. No necessary minimum level of ability; only an expectation of good-faith participatory efforts.

What is expected of participants?

Ask questions, bring up topics that interest you, let the facilitator know if you need help. We also expect that you will make mistakes when you speak; that’s totally fine! Also, of course, please always treat the facilitator and anyone else present with consideration and RESPECT.

What can participants expect at Café Plus?

Games, jokes, conversation, maybe even making friends – and all IN FRENCH! This is a safe space for you to practice and improve your French. You will not receive a grade or be evaluated; all you have to do is make an honest effort to participate at your level.
