Course description
FREN1020 allows students to build on their elementary skills of French communication, adding to¿what they have already acquired in FREN1010 (or elsewhere, for those starting in FREN1020). We work on skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, and students will encounter a greater number of authentic texts, giving access to various French-speaking cultures. The course allows students to move from A1 to low A2 level on the Common European Frame of Reference for Languages.
