This intensive course aims at giving students with no previous knowledge of the language an introduction to French language through grammar, phonetics and vocabulary. It is based on the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. It aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of French language and the ability to handle basic grammatical structures so that they can communicate effectively with any French speakers at a basic level. The course will particularly focus on communication in real situations (greetings, introducing each other, asking the way, getting somewhere, doing shopping (for food), talking about your family, etc.). At the end of the term students should reach a level A1.2 of the European Languages Framework (CECRL).
