Aims:
This module aims to develop students' knowledge of a range of subject areas relating to their study of French and to provide them with an understanding of how these subject areas are perceived and taught by the French.

Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of the module students are expected to have:

  • followed a prescribed number of appropriate courses at the partner institution, as agreed by both institutions on a Learning Agreement;
  • completed the appropriate continuous assessment and examination requirements for the above courses
  • ensured that, where appropriate, they have completed or terminated in the required manner any contract or agreement with the French authorities or other organization.

  • Additional outcomes:
    The module also aims to encourage the development of oral communication skills in French, the encouragement of positive critical evaluation of the French cultural and socio-political context, and the fostering of a systematic approach to self-awareness and personal skills development.
