This course is addressed to students who wish to be accompanied in their discovery of the French language, in a flexible and entertaining way, in order to master the basics of French and continue their thematic learning on the issue of human rights. Knowledge of the Latin Alphabet is the only prerequisite.
The aim of this course is to integrate French language skills with a focus on human rights practical work oriented activities. To achieve this goal, the Human Rights themes will be exploited as pedagogical support to consolidate students’ knowledge and linguistic skills in French. Indeed, the courses will not separate language learning (grammar and conjugation) from the discovery of themes linked to students’ field of study.
This cross-disciplinary, integrated approach is designed to prepare students for everyday situations (private and professional life). This approach emphasizes oral interaction and communication, so that language becomes the instrument to (re)act naturally in different contexts.
In short students will acquire:
-General language skills in French
-Practical skills in French applied to daily life situations and the field of human rights
Students' performance will be assessed by a written and oral examination combining a technical part (related to French skills acquisition) and, practical exercises reflecting the topics apprehended in the classroom.
A grade out of 30 which includes 2 assessment methodologies:
1. Continuous assessment (/15): students will be assessed on the end-of-unit tests for the written part; they will be assessed on their oral participation in class and on interactive (oral) assignments to be handed in via the Moodle Platform.
2. Final exam (/15): the writing of a personal essay in which the candidate describes his or her experience of learning French during the Master's course, through the development of a theme discussed in class and a personal essay on a theme discussed in class.
The 45-hour course explores different themes, grouped in units that can be adapted to suit the audience. Each unit will be covered through the four skills (oral and written comprehension; oral and written expression):
1. Encounters (getting to know each other, talking about oneself, habits, and opinions; portraits of "committed" people)
2. Stopovers (introducing a city, getting around, booking, and buying transport, living in original accommodation, discovering other cultures, traveling)
3. Choosing (shopping, ordering in restaurants, discovering original restaurants)
4. Regards Croisés (discover university and business, talk about your academic and professional career, respond to a job offer, explore contemporary phenomena in relation to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
5. Planning (recounting a day/meeting, announcing an event, or going out , drawing up a program)
6. Santé! (Narrate a succession of events, solve a problem, talk about your state of health, contact emergency services, take care of yourself)
7. (R)evolutions (living in a new environment, talking about a change of life, discovering civic initiatives, getting involved, consuming differently)
The units are made up of a variety of media: authentic didactic documents (written, audio or video) from a range of French-speaking backgrounds and media, as well as recorded dialogues or video) from a variety of French-speaking backgrounds and media, as well as recorded dialogues from real-life situations.
Emphasis is placed on the discovery of grammar and vocabulary. We use a method that offers a guided approach to grammar, from observation (Warm-up) through explanation of the rule (Functioning) to systematization (Training).
The written and oral production activities proposed encourage intercultural exchanges and put students in authentic communication situations, enabling them to adapt to concrete situations they might experience in a French-speaking context.
Phonetics is integrated into each unit to help learners perfect their pronunciation and intonation awareness through targeted, funny exercises.
The workload is about 3 hours a week.
Lectures: 45 hours per semester
Self-study: at least half the time students spent in the classroom
With 20 minutes of daily practice outside the classroom, students will see that in just a few months, they will make progress.
