Anglo-American University in Prague Elementary French I
| Course Name | Elementary French I |
| Course Code | FRE100 |
| Description | The approach adopted here, generally speaking, is an action-oriented one, based on the development of the 4 skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) together with thorough and in depth learning of the language. Students will learn the basics of French language based on the study of oral and written documents. These documents will emphasise specific grammar, vocabulary, phonetics…so that students can conceptualise the way language works. Culture and civilisation will also be part of the course. For instance students will have an overview of French towns and cities, and will get to know when to use ‘Tu vs Vous’. The course aims at delivering an all-round practical knowledge of grammar, skills, vocabulary and real-life functional language. |
