Having participated in an intensive French course at t h e University of Tennessee, t h e author a t t e m p t s to explain the success of the program f o r b o t h f a c u l t y and students. Discussion of t h e intensive course is based on an a r t i c l e by Frank M. Grittner entitled "Motivating Students in t h e Foreign Language Classroom." Like Grittner, t h e author believes t h a t students must be intrinsically motivated and t h a t each class should be an end in itself--optimum learning and an enjoyable experience. The author t a k e s six of G r i t t n e r ' s assumptions and i l l u s t r a t e s how they apply to t h e i n t e n s i v e French course. Evidence of t h e success of the program included the excellent performance of the students in the four basic skills, t h e desire of many to continue their language study, and s t u d e n t comments t h a t t h e course was both valuable and enjoyable.
