Course Description

Building on work done in Advanced French Language 1 with Translation, the course will develop further language skills, both receptive (aural comprehension capacity through tuition based video material; reading comprehension through analysis of written French and translation into English) and productive (translation into French and oral language). Classes on grammatical and linguistic analysis will contribute to the further development of both sets of skills. In addition, students will complete a structured self-learning programme of aural study and grammatical reinforcement study and will also be provided with additional translation practice to further progress their translation skills.
