Subject Description

The subject introduces students to listening and speaking skills in French. Listening activities form the core of the subject, presenting new structures and vocabulary in meaningful situations, and providing students with models for pronunciation and dialogue work. Students will also work on pronunciation via language laboratory activities, where they can work at their own pace, and phonetic modelling exercises in class. The subject focuses on speaking skills primarily through the preparation of dialogues and information gap exercises, where students are given an authentic motive for using the language.

Assessment

Two 15-minute listening comprehension tests, and a 10-minute oral exam.
