Description
Subject Area: French Studies
The French-speaking world represents one of the biggest linguistic zones in the world with an estimated 274 million French-speakers on all five continents. In pursuing your study of the language, you are joining a rich, vibrant and diverse community of close to 49 million learners worldwide. This course will be perfect for you if you already have a somewhat proficient knowledge of French (equivalent to six semesters of studying at university level) and are looking for an in-depth extension of all skills: you will improve your listening skills by training with radio excerpts, you will read some fiction as well as learn to synthetize texts from various media and discuss current events and cross-cultural issues relevant to the French-speaking communities.
