You will study both French language and a number of different aspects of French culture, including literature, thought and society. In French language, you will work on a wider range of language skills. You will read more widely in French and acquire specialized skills in the reading, analysis and discussion of texts. In each year, language modules integrate the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Written language courses in the first and second year include work on comprehension, grammar and vocabulary.
Translation forms part of the language programme in the second and the final year.
Oral classes are taught by native speakers of French. Specialized language modules are provided for students of the B.C.L. in Law and French and the B.Comm. European, and, in the second year, for all students who spend the third year of their degree programme abroad. You will study literary texts in all years. In the first year, most of these are contemporary works.
