This course is designed to provide students with the necessary tools to improve their practical use of communicative English. To this end, the course will include the following four patterns of learning. Listening: accurate, complete and coherent grasp of basic content in lectures as well as dialogues/conversations; Speaking: development of confidence in the use of English language for basic spoken expression at the interpersonal level; Reading: culturally familiar semi-technical and non-technical readings for the purposes of basic comprehension of content, as well as advanced comprehension of underlying compositional structures, development of ideas, and modes of assimilation (understanding, retention, analytical/critical engagement); Writing: vocabulary (scope and correctness/appropriateness), correct grammatical expression (agreement, tenses, sentence structure), clear and coherent development of ideas in a composition through an understanding of the process of writing from pre-writing through revision.

This course will introduce students to the nuances of English Studies. The following are the broad objectives of the course: Develop critical, creative, and analytical thinking abilities appropriate for responding to a variety of rhetorical situations and genres; Foster appreciation and sensitivity for some of the world’s seminal writings and creative projects; Introduce the concept of using reading and writing as a process of inquiry; Emphasize interactive and active learning.

This course is meant for beginner level students. At the end of the course the students will be capable to communicate effectively. The course will combine elements of language, cross cultural competences and French literature and culture. Through a theme (“telling who you are and where you are form”), a topic is defined for each lessons (“Places names, counting, asking questions, pointing things out”). The objectives for each lesson will combine four domains: expressions, new vocabulary, structures (grammar, syntax) and cultural elements. Several supports are going to be used to reach the lessons objectives: multimedia (audio, video, pictures) and texts, all extract from French culture in order to develop cross cultural competences and to expose the student to meaningful input from the French language.

At the end of the course the students will be capable to communicate effectively on the following subjects: Talking about personal effects, one’s job, daily routines, telling time and talking about the weather. The course will combine elements of language (vocabulary, structure, listening, pronouncing, speaking, reading, and writing) and cross cultural competences. The students will be exposed to authentic language in spoken and written form. Methodology: Through activities students will be inspired to use their skills in French language and will improve them by working on several small projects during the class.
