Short description: The French language course is addressed to the first year students of the DFLTI and, among other things, aims at highlighting certain difficulties of French grammar through specific references. It also aims at familiarizing the students with French discourse of different linguistic levels and forms (dialogue, letter, short presentation of ideas). In any case, the approach that is attempted is not a linguistic end but a transitory path to the act of translation.
1st week: During the lessons the students practice their knowledge with grammatical exercises. They pose their questions and their problems are discussed and clarified. During the second part of the lesson we make use of audiovisual media. French news relevant to the current state of affairs are presented and vocabulary or/and cultural issues are discussed.
