FR2002: ADVANCED FRENCH LANGUAGE 1 (2026-2027)

Last modified: 3 Days, 10 Hours, 3 Minutes ago


Course Overview

This course is open to students who have successfully completed and passed FR1528 OR FR1529. Building on the work done in FR1528 and FR1529, it will consolidate and extend students’ knowledge of French language. Grammatical and linguistic analysis will develop further language skills, both receptive (listening, reading comprehension and translation into English) and productive (translation into French; oral language). Students will work towards a level equivalent to CERF Advanced B2 by the end of the follow-on course, FR2502 in Term 2.

FR2002 and FR2502 are both the required French language courses for students to enter the French Honours programme and will prepare them to complete the required period of residence abroad in a French-speaking country. These courses are also open to students with the relevant experience who do not intend to complete a degree in French.

Building on work done in FR1528 and FR1529, it will consolidate and extend students’ knowledge of French language. Grammatical and linguistic analysis will develop further language skills, both receptive skills (listening, reading comprehension and translation into English) and productive skills (translation into French; oral language).

FR2002 and FR2502 are both the required French language courses for students to enter the French Honours programme and will prepare them to complete the required period of residence abroad in a French-speaking country. These courses are also open to students with the relevant experience who do not intend to complete a degree in French.

In addition to the three weekly classes, students will complete a structured programme of private study to provide linguistic reinforcement and enhance contemporary cultural knowledge of the French and Francophone context.

Assessment will be via class tests (grammar; translation into English; translation into French and oral assessment).
