Lecture guidelines The lectures are delivered in French. The Monday lectures will include presentations on specialised vocabulary linked to the theme of the week. You will also receive e-handouts prior to the lecture (by e-mail or another electronic means. Print the handout, read it before the lecture and bring it with you to the lecture (or bring your own laptop if you prefer). The lecture is the opportunity to learn about a specific aspect of politics/business in France, to improve your listening comprehension and to develop note-taking skills. During MT, most of the handouts will have gaps to be filled in, in order to keep you active and engaged. You are not required to write down everything the lecturer says! Jot down new ideas and important points if they are not included in the slide. We are expecting you to gain a good understanding of the situation in contemporary France and of the main trends and evolutions. You are not required to remember detailed statistics or facts. They are given to you as examples and illustrations. The written exam for FR2040 will test your ability to understand texts on topics covered during the course and to write letters and essays in French. To make sense of these texts (and of the Listening Comprehension materials), you need to master the main points of the lectures, the trends and evolutions. The oral exam will require you to discuss topics linked to the lecture content. In addition, in MT, the lecture will include advice and guidance on French style essay writing.
