The course aims to provide students with basic proficiency (level A2) in the phonetic, grammatical, and syntactic structures of the French language, aimed at both oral and written comprehension and production, in relation to texts in the original language, relevant to the Bachelor's or Master's Degree Course.

The course will also be complemented by notes on the historical, social and cultural context of France.

The French Language - Laboratory course is delivered through lectures, listening and understanding activities for readings and exercises within the adopted text, and understanding authentic online video materials. In particular, the analysis of short texts in French will be carried out, according to the comprehension of the text and its translation.
