Courses
FREN2006 French IV (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- FREN2005 French III or equivalent
- Medium of Instruction:
- French
This course builds on the acquisitions of French I to III and aims to give students the ability to conduct a simple conversation in French. While many activities are still dealing with transmitting information (talking about what’s on TV, listing the movies currently on show, describing a traditional Chinese festival, etc.), the focus is progressively switching to expressing ideas and opinions and arguing for or against them (discussing with family or friends about which TV programme to watch, what to do in the evening or the following weekend, etc.). To achieve this, a range of classroom activities are provided, for which active participation is expected. Aspects of French culture are introduced, particularly through the Internet. Pronunciation and grammar are also taught. In French IV, students work at the A2 level of the CEFRL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), with some activities being at B1 level.
