Course Description

This course is aimed at students who have attended French Higher Intermediate or similar or have a good knowledge of French and can exchange information on familiar and routine matters. The course will enable you to further practise and consolidate your language skills and give you confidence in speaking French.

This module provides revision and consolidation of the higher intermediate level, while it aims to move students forward towards an advanced level of competence.

This module introduces students to contemporary French, imparting all four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

The module will also develop language awareness: it will put emphasis on conversation, but reading, writing and listening will be present in every class.

A wide range of activities are undertaken, such as practical language exercises, work into and out of French and vocabulary-building activities. This will be delivered by commercially produced and in-house language materials from a variety of sources.

• Talk about “la Francophonie”
• Discuss holidays and problems encountered
• Discuss property issues
• Discuss tourism and its implications
• Discuss about environmental issues
• Discuss transport issues
• Discuss the French media and audience habits
