Description This module presents a fusion of linguistic and analytical competencies to allow students to develop advanced depth and breadth of subject expertise within French and Francophone studies and explain the significance and relevance of that knowledge. Through the interrelation of comprehension, speaking, and writing, students on the module will develop their understanding and expertise in the French language, with specific reference to key debates in the French-speaking world. The module will build on knowledge acquired in previous core modules to prepare students for debating topics with oral examiners, expressing ideas in sophisticated written French, translating into English, and working into French in guided writing exercises.
