Description The purpose of this module, conducted in French, is to prepare students to be able to use the French language naturally and appropriately in a large array of situations, either in social gatherings, in everyday life and academic surroundings. In order to do so, students will engage with different text types and practical situations to increase and consolidate their language and cultural competence with particular emphasis on productive skills, both written and oral. FR373 will also nurture the development of a range of transferable and life-long learning skills such as digital literacies and critical thinking. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
