Vakinhoudelijk

The course is based on the development of skills and strategies that enable students to successfully handle most uncomplicated oral and written tasks, and social situations they may be confronted with in daily life in France or in French-speaking countries. The course focuses as well on a panorama of French culture. This panorama is presented in four different modules: history of France, French literature, emergence of modern dance and its interaction with painting and corporate culture.

Format
The classroom language is French. The main activity is to perform oral and written communication tasks individually, in pairs, or in a group. Performing a task means that students mainly focus a target they want to reach (asking a questions, gathering information, making an appointment, giving their own opinion etc..).
Students regularly evaluate themselves and their fellow students' performance to reflect upon and report to the class. Students also evaluate their own approach to language learning in order to find ways to ameliorate their performance and skills. The instructor may provide students with extra activities to help them reach a certain level on some particular skill. Students are expected to come up with questions as a means to solve their own personal learning problems.
