Description
The course is designed for very advanced level students requiring the language for professional and academic purposes.
It comprises knowledge and understanding both of the structure of the French language and its use in professional and academic environments, such as presentations, meetings, lectures, seminars and conferences. The course covers career and academic development in the target language countries, business and academic cultures and conventions, negotiating and interacting, critical thinking, reading and writing specialist academic texts (i.e. in the student’s main degree subject e.g. engineering, history), note taking and debates as well as other related topics to prepare students for working and/or further academic study/research in French speaking countries. These areas will be related back to the student’s degree subject.
The course will enhance knowledge and use of linguistically complex structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of authentic professional and academic material). Various transferable skills will also be further developed.
