French

Course summary

The course has been designed to give a profound understanding of French. Not only will you understand more about the mechanics of the language (grammar, vocabulary), but also how people live and use language on a daily basis. All this will be taught by looking at newspapers, books, magazines, television, film and, of course, textbooks. You will do some work in our language laboratory and will also have one hour per week of intensive speaking work with the French assistant. The topics covered include current trends, issues in society, artistic culture in the French-speaking world, aspects of political life and literary texts and films. The cultural works studied will be Le Tartuffe by Molière and Le Haine by Mathieu Kassovitz
