French Ii
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to increase the main characteristics of the French language in a theoretical and applied perspective. In particular, the course will introduce practical notions in French lexicology and lexicography. Particular attention will be paid to lexical strategies through the analysis of economic, tourist, sociological and anthropological texts in line with the objectives of the degree course. The course also aims to strengthen written skills related to the preparation of professional texts (letters, e-mails, compte-rendu) and to improve communication skills by preparing and exposing brief considerations related to the texts studied. Only students who have completed the French language course 1 can follow French language course II.
Expected learning outcomes
The exit level is set at B2 plus of the CEFR.
By the end of the course, students will have developped the most important linguistic skills (in particular listening and oral production) to deal with intercultural communicative situation.
Students will therefore be capable of paraphrasing and summarizing B2-level texts while also taking into consideration existing cultural differences.
