Subject Description

Building on Intermediate French A and Intermediate French B, this subject will deepen students' understanding of French and Francophone cultures through the study of more challenging authentic documents from the same range of genres: short prose fiction, poems, feature films, television news stories, newspaper articles, record reviews, popular songs. In Intermediate French C emphasis will shift from literal understanding to imitation and critical reflection. Students will defend their judgements in debates and written exchanges, and use the documents as models for productive exercises.

Assessment

Two written assignments in French of 1500 words each, and an oral assignment in French equivalent to 1000 words, to be submitted on audio cassette.

Prescribed Texts

A collection of short literary and journalistic texts supplied by the department. Video and audio documents available in the Horwood Language Centre.

  • Balzac, Le Colonel Chabert. Gallimard (Folio) 1994.
