Students must actively participate in at least 75% of the seminars, with a maximum of three absences.

 

Aims

The course is primarily intended for students who successfully finished XPC-FR2. The aim of the course is to build on the already acquired linguistic competences corresponding to approximately A1 level and to extend the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary to A2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, so that the graduates of the course have adequate linguistic resources to cope with common communication situations when travelling, studying or working.

The students will have a good command of grammatical structures and vocabulary at A1/A2 level and will be able to understand and respond appropriately to the most common phrases of French speakers. They will also be able to read short simple texts and find specific information in them (menus, brochures, advertisements, short articles, etc.).
