Overview
Building on work done in FR1018 the course will develop greater receptive and productive language skills, enabling students to understand authentic spoken and written French, and to express themselves in speech and writing with a reasonable degree of facility and accuracy. In addition to the four weekly classes, students will complete a structured programme of self learning in the Language Centre (1 hour per week).

3 one-hour written language classes, 1 one-hour oral class per week.

1st Attempt: 1 two-hour written examination (60%); 1 oral examination (20%); and in-course assessment: 4 linguistic exercises (20%).
Resit: 1 two-hour written examination (80%) and 1 oral examination (20%).
Formative Assessment
Weekly formative assessments of different aspects of written French language; 1 formative assessment of oral French language.
Feedback
Written and/or verbal feedback is given on all assessments. Additional informal feedback on performance is also given in both written language classes and oral classes.
