Description

Module description

The module is designed to help students with no or little knowledge of French to achieve a level of competence equivalent to A2 of the Common European Framework Reference for Languages, as well as a foundation in cultural and historical topics necessary to study French as an academic subject at university level. The module is divided into three phases (terms 1-3) and will combine classroom teaching with online activities and guided learning exercises. In Phase 1 students will work towards Level 1 of the CEFR and will focus on understanding simple listening and reading passages; they will acquire basic vocabulary and knowledge of grammatical structures that will enable them to communicate within the context of social, cultural and historical topics and themes relevant to their undergraduate studies.

Textbook:

  • Maïa Gregoire, Grammaire progressive du français, A1 Débutants, 3rd edition (CLE International, 2018)
