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.

| Prerequisites : | No particular prerequisites. |
|
| Organization : | ORGANISATION:
The course is conducted by Ms Neven (teaching points 1 and 2) and Mr Leveau (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.
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.
Students can also test their knowledge or improve on their weak points by carry out on-line exercises on the blog http://prolongements.wordpress.com (http://prolongements.wordpress.com/" target="_blank.
Based on exercises carried out in class or at home and on theoretical contributions with practical application, teaching will focus on student participation, interactions within the group and individual involvement.) |
