DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students who have had the equivalent of one year of university-level, French language instruction, and it aims at improving the four basic language skills (reading, speaking, writing and understanding) through a direct exposition to French language and culture. After reviewing basic grammar and vocabulary, students are steadily exposed to new and more complex grammar and communicative structures in order to more accurately and expressively interact with the host community.
The course combines several integrated approaches aimed at developing students' skills. Classroom time is devoted mainly to speaking and practicing French through a combination of group-based and individual activities, focusing on grammatical structures, language functions and vocabulary. Sessions also address a range of contemporary cultural themes using newspaper articles, advertising material and short film clips. In addition, on-site activities, regular practice and conversation exchanges with peers and locals give students the opportunity to rapidly implement in real local-community situations their linguistic advances and newly acquired intercultural competences.
