Course description: students will be trained first to pronounce correctly French by learning all the phonetic rules which govern syllabic pronunciation. Then they will move to read texts in order to better assimilate a close to reality pronunciation. In the second stage, conversation will be emphasized with group and individual activities. Oral skills will be the core of this course. Apart from language learning, students will be introduced to various aspects of French culture through a methodology appropriate to intercultural situation (analysis of social values, social representations, body language, foreign culture as a mirror of one’s culture, etc.)

At the end of the semester, learners should be able to express their affective and aesthetic judgment on other people and themselves and to describe ordinary situation of daily life. In the field of culture, learners will deepen their understanding of the notion of interculturality.
