Course Description

Language teaching falls into three broad areas all of which complement each other and contribute to the student's overall command of the French language. One class taken by a native French speaker focuses on oral communicative skills; while another develops competence in the written language at a formal level and also concentrates on the practical applications of language, developing both written and spoken competence in a variety of different registers. The Junior and Senior Honours language courses form a continuum for which the final assessment is not made until the end of the Senior Honours year.
This course aims at preparing students for their Final Examinations in written and spoken language at the end of their Senior Honours year.  It is assessed by means of four pieces of work which are required to gain the credits for this course.

Feedback
