French
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The course aims to present, on the one hand, the morphosyntactic structures of intermediate and advanced level of the French language and, on the other, through the study of texts dedicated to a specific theme related to international relations, a correct methodology of analysis that takes into account not only the grammatical and lexical dimension but also that logical and argumentative.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will have acquired grammatical knowledge at an intermediate/advanced level and will be able to correctly analyze texts related to international relations of medium complexity. The reading exercises in the classroom will also have improved their level of oral expression, both phonetically and argumentatively. In general, at the end of the course, students will reach a linguistic competence equal to level B2 of the Common European Framework (CEFR).
