Summary

Level:

You have good vocabulary and a fair understanding of fundamental grammatical rules and how to apply them. You may have done an advanced level course at school at least A2 level grades A & B or 4 to 5 years attendance at evening classes. You feel reasonably confident speaking in most common, social or work settings and you are developing fluency in your reading and writing. You now want to use the language more flexibly and use appropriate register to suit the context. You also want to sort out in your mind ( and on paper) some of the more complex grammar forms. The course will demand greater accuracy from you and involve you more in the exploration of issues of a cultural or political nature.

Main Objectives:

The course gives you an opportunity to discuss and study various aspects of French contemporary reality by considering images of France in the 21st century, France and Europe, French speaking countries and French culture.

Please read our Can-do Statements (link on the right of this page) to see the competences which you will be working towards and can achieve by the end of the year.

Teaching:

1 x 2 hour class per week plus some independent learning.
