| DESCRIPTION | This unit is the introductory basis of the Certificate Course in French. It introduces complete beginners to the study of the language, exposing learners to level-appropriate oral conversations and written texts and training them to produce simple utterances and written sentences. Unit Aims: To enable learners to carry out simple functions and recognise simple notions in French, to stimulate interest in and curiosity about the language and to start developing the four linguistic competences: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the unit the student will be able to use adequate and relevant vocabulary, multiple structures and speech acts in order to: - introduce himself/herself; - use appropriate greetings; - describe other people; - read and listen to short texts; - write simple sentences to express the above. 2. Skills: By the end of the unit the student will be able to: - listen to and recognise familiar words and very basic phrases concerning oneself, one's family and immediate concrete surroundings when people speak slowly and clearly; - read and understand simple sentences, for eg. on notices and posters or in catalogues; - interact by asking and answering simple questions on familiar topics; - fill in a form with personal details and write short, simple messages. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: Main Texts: - Studio 1, Méthode de Français, Livre de l'élève, Didier, 2014. - Studio 1, Cahier d'Exercices. Other complementary material taken from: - Alter Ego + 1, Méthode de Français, Livre de l'élève, Hachette 2012. - Nouveau Rond-Point 1, EMDL, 2011 (in order to introduce students to the perspective 'actionnelle'). Assessment: In keeping with the spirit of Degree Plus, there is no formal assessment associated with the unit. A certificate of attendance and of satisfactory completion of the unit will be provided at the end of the semester. Note: Degree plus units are not designed to be incrementally burdensome in terms of the many academic demands placed on students during their undergraduate years. |
