This subject is designed to provide students, who have no prior knowledge of the French language, with basic reading, listening, speaking and writing skills in French. The subject allows for an understanding of the sociocultural context in which the language is used. By the end of the semester, students are able to understand and use familiar words and basic sentence structures. They learn to answer and ask simple questions about themselves and others, describe people and surroundings, give directions and interact in a simple way on a familiar topic such as an invitation to go out or a restaurant situation.
Assessment: This subject has a combination of continuous assessment and final examinations for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Further details are available in the subject outline distributed in class during the first week of teaching.
