Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will be able to carry out a correct and rigorous analysis of a phrase or text using "new grammar" perspectives and terminology. Students will be able to identify certain language use which does not conform to standard French, whether this be specific terms, turns of phrase or language register. Students will be able to rework a text clearly and coherently in formal French, based on a clumsily written text with missing words and mistakes of all kinds.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
No prerequisite knowledge, but C1 level for non-native speakers.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
ORGANISATION: The course is conducted by Ms Neven (teaching points 1 and 2) and Ms Finne (teaching points 3 and 4). The class is divided into two groups. In the first term, Group 1 will study points 1 and 2 while Group 2 will study the subjects in Points 3 and 4. Changeover of teachers will take place in the 2nd term.7
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS: The course is based on exercises mostly given in the syllabus and on the blog. All exercises will use theory set out in the reference book (1) and reworked by the teacher. The exercises, which are carried out in class or at home, will be corrected by the teacher. Student participation in the theory course is compulsory, as is regular preparation of exercises at home. A certain amount of personal investment outside class hours is therefore required of students.
Erasmus students can choose the group they want without asking the teacher :
Group 1 : on Monday, Amphi L3 or L5, 2/7, 8/00-10:00;
Group 2 : on Wednesday, Salle Wittert (place du XX-Août), 8:00-10:00
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
In-person classes.
