French III.1

Core Course

In this course students continue to build upon work done in the First and Second Year. The intention is to further expand students’ proficiency in French. Class lectures will make use of interactive approaches so as to elicit creativity, problem-solving skills, and encourage the participants to become independent users of the language. Various literary and non-literary texts from France and other French-speaking countries will be used, with the aim of stimulating critical reading and discussion. Learning activities will also be supported by audio-visual and web-based materials which will help students to better understand French and francophone socio-cultural environments. Discussion groups will be arranged separately to foster oral expression and debating skills.
