This second-year French language course, which runs in the first half-session, is only open to students who have passed FR1529 and are on the MA Modern Languages and Translation & Interpreting Studies programme. It will improve their written, oral and aural skills, as well as provide additional translation practice.

Building on work done in FR1529, the course will develop further language skills, both receptive (aural comprehension capacity through tuition based on video material; reading comprehension through analysis of written French and translation into English) and productive (translation into French; oral language). Classes on grammatical and linguistic analysis will contribute to the development of both sets of skills. In addition, students will complete a structured self-learning programme of aural study and grammatical reinforcement study and will also be provided with additional translation practice to further progress their translation skills.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
