| Prerequisites : | No particular pre-requisites. |
|
| Organization : | TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS:
One part of the course, in the form of lectures, will shed light on lexicological concepts and methods, the study of syntactical particularities of French, dictionaries and grammar books. There will be time for interaction between the teacher and the group, when exercises (which are set out for the most part in the syllabus) are worked through.
Student participation in the theory course is compulsory, as is preparation of exercises at home. A certain amount of personal investment outside class hours is therefore required of students. |
