Notes
This course is run over the full session.
Overview
Language teaching falls into 3 broad areas, all of which complement each other, and contribute to the student’s overall command of the French language. One class taken by a native French speaker focuses on oral communicative skills; while another develops competence in the written language at a formal level; and also concentrates on the practical applications of language, developing both written and spoken competence in a variety of different registers. The Junior and Senior Honours language courses form a continuum for which the final assessment is not made until the end of the Senior Honours year.
Structure
An average of 3 one-hour seminars per fortnight.
Assessment
1st Attempt: French Honours language examinations (100%). Any student who follows this course but decides not to proceed to Level 4 will be examined by in-course assessment: 5 linguistic exercises (100%).
Resit: 1 two-hour written examination (75%) and 1 oral examination (25%).
