Overview
Building on work done in FR 1024 or FR 1025, the course will develop greater receptive and productive language skills through weekly classes which will focus respectively on written language, aural language and oral language. In addition students will complete a structured programme of self learning including aural study and grammatical reinforcement study.
Structure
1 one-hour written language class; 1 one-hour aural language class; 1 one-hour oral class per week.
Assessment
1st Attempt: 1 two-hour written examination (66%) and 1 ninety-minute aural/oral examination (34%). A satisfactory level of performance in coursework covering a range of linguistic skills will exempt candidates from the examination.
Resit: 1 two-hour written examination (66%) and 1 aural/oral examination (34%).
Formative Assessment
3 formative assessments of different aspects of written French language, 1 formative assessment of aural French language, and 1 formative assessment of oral French language.
