Overview
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.
Structure
2 one-hour seminars (one written, one oral) per week until Easter of second half-session thereafter one hour per week (written).
Assessment
1st Attempt: In-course assessment: five language exercises equally weighted (100%).
Resit: 1 two-hour written examination (75%) and 1 oral examination (25%).
Formative Assessment
All assignments done in classes have a formative as well as a summative role.
Feedback
Written assignments completed as homework receive CAS marks, which the Course Guide links to specific marking criteria, and written feedback in the form of tutors' comments is also given. For activities carried out in class verbal feedback is given by the tutor and other members of the group. Tutors have office hours at which further feedback may be sought.
