Learning objectives
The aim of the French for Beginners 1 course is to provide an introduction to the French language to students with no previous knowledge of French. The course will cover basic grammatical structures and lexis on A1 level of CEFR in order to foster communicative competence in everyday situations, such as work, travel, and study.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped with basic knowledge of French grammar and lexis and thus able to understand and take part in simple conversations as well as understand and write short and simple texts on familiar topics immediately related to their personal and/or professional environment and/or interests.
Progress assessment
In order to successfully complete the course students have to pass a written test covering the grammar and vocabulary studied during the semester (based on Inspire 1 - Unités 1-4). The passing grade is 50 %. Only students complying with the attendance rules will be allowed to take the test.
Active participation in seminars is required. Students cannot miss more than 3 seminars.
