Course Description

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

A wide range of activities are undertaken, such as practical language exercises, work into and out of Italian and vocabulary-building activities. 

The module will equip you with a basic knowledge of the countries where French is spoken and to encourage your curiosity about the language, the countries, the people, their environment, societies, traditions and cultures. 

It will enable you to reach a level of basic "survival competence" in the four main areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. 

This will be delivered by commercially produced and in-house language materials from a variety of sources. If you successfully complete the module should feel that you have a good introductory command of French and should be able to proceed to Beginners 2 or equivalent.
