This module is aimed at students with either no or very little previous knowledge of the French language. It has been designed to provide students with a sound knowledge of essential French grammar and vocabulary and to develop the four key language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. This module presents and covers all the basic elements of the French language, including its pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The course is well balanced between the presentation of the main grammatical concepts by the tutor in seminars and by activity-based, mixed-skills classes which incorporate oral expression and comprehension as well as reading comprehension and written expression. Translation is also used from time to time as a way to practice grammar in context and to expand one's lexis. The module is intended primarily for students doing a BA in Modern Languages involving French (Single or Joint Honours degree).
