Unit description
This language unit is designed for students who have completed FREN1403 French Studies 3 or an equivalent knowledge of the
French language. It further improves students grammar and vocabulary, develops cultural and linguistic awareness and focuses on
contemporary spoken and written language used in France and other French-speaking countries. Students also study literary extracts
by influential writers to gain a deeper understanding of French and francophone language and culture. The unit leads to FREN2405
French Studies 5.
Learning outcomes
Students are able to (1) attain intermediate competency in French, assessed by way of in-class tests, compositions and role-plays; (2)
develop oral comprehension and expression skills in the French language at an intermediate level through the use of French in
language classes and as a result of regular work at home with set texts; (3) develop reading comprehension at an intermediate level by
studying the passages in the set texts (literary and non-literary sources); (4) write competently at an intermediate level through regular
exercises in the composition of standard grammatical structures; (5) achieve an enhanced mastery of English and an increased
awareness of how language works in general (acquisition of metalinguistic skills); (6) develop interpersonal skills including the ability to
work effectively in pairs and small groups; (7) demonstrate intercultural understanding of French society and culture by reading and
analysing texts in their historical, social and cultural context; and (8) acquire formal and independent learning skills, resulting from
sustained effort and regular practice in class and at home with set texts and accompanying learning material. Students who pass this
unit have achieved Level A2/B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
