French Ii

The course aims to develop critical reading, comprehension and metalinguistic reflection skills. It is aimed at deepening the main tools of discourse analysis through the study of French-language press texts of a metalinguistic, sociological and anthropological nature. Particular attention will be paid to the argumentative text. We will focus on the discursive strategies specific to linguistic policy texts. The course also aims to develop analytical and written production skills in the tourism sector.
The course is annual and takes place in both semesters (1st semester: 40 hours; 2nd semester: 20 hours). Students who have completed the French Language 1 course can access it.

At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to use the main discursive and rhetorical strategies in order to produce written texts (even workshop are aimed at achieving this goal) and to develop critical and argumentative skills related to oral discourse.
