Description

This is the third course in a sequence of French language acquisition courses offered by the programme. Students without the formal prerequisite, but with some previous knowledge of French, should consult the Programme Director to determine which course is the most appropriate.

This 15 point course is for students who have completed four/five years of French at school or have passed FREN122 with a very good grade. This is an intensive course, where French is increasingly used. Classes are organised to encourage you to learn French through using it, and are activity based. You are encouraged to gain an active mastery of each new point by practising it. This course leads to FREN222.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the end of this course you should have acquired:
  • an ability to comprehend more advanced conversations and express oneself in everyday conversational situations;
