Description	This module aims at students who have already attained a high level of proficiency and extends receptive and productive skills to a highly sophisticated level encompassing several registers. Strategies and study methods will be further developed to increase independent learning. Cultural knowledge of the country where the language is spoken will be enhanced through students’ research. Teaching is through practical language classes involving both whole group and small-group/pair-work activities, aiming at developing all language skills, with particular emphasis on oral communication. Conversations, discussions and debates on topical (current) issues will be a constant feature. A wide range of audio-visual resources are used routinely. However, particular emphasis will be put on receptive skills (reading & listening).
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Deal with highly complex and sophisticated issues relating to the grammar of the target language (morphology/syntax); Read and show understanding of highly complex articles from press in the target language on a wide range of topics; Demonstrate knowledge of a wide range of cultural aspects of the country where the language is spoken; Show understanding of key current issues of the country where the language is spoken; Show evidence of working towards the use of French language to B2.2 level of the CEFR for languages.
