French 2 (MA)

This course aims to deepen the study of the French
language in the Master's Degree Programme. At a
theoretical level, the course aims to develop knowledge relating to the diachrony of French (19th-20th century) and today's French, observed through oral corpora, essays and literary texts. At a practical level, the development of reception, production, interaction and mediation is proposed at different levels, corresponding to the CEFR levels C1, C1+.

By the end of the course students must have acquired: knowledge of historical linguistics and sociolinguistics, which are useful to understand and describe the variation of French over time and space; knowledge and understanding of oral and written French in authentic corpora and in various complex textual typologies such as essays and literary writings.
Students must also have acquired skills corresponding to the C1+ level and higher levels for all linguistic communicative activities: reception, production, interaction and mediation and development of related strategies.
