Learning outcomes:
Modules French 1 and French 2 provide a framework through which students can develop their French language skills to B1/B2 level for academic and professional contexts.
Students become familiar with the specific characteristics of the Francophone workplace and learn to recognise difficulties and conflicts in intercultural communication situations. They also learn to draw conclusions about their own behaviour based on these insights. Furthermore, students develop an awareness of different language registers and learn to communicate appropriately in professional situations.

Teaching methods/Media:
Teaching and learning materials are tailored to specific target groups. As teaching and learning become increasingly digitised, interactive digital materials are made available more frequently through the learning management system and are integrated into classroom instruction as part of a blended learning approach. In exceptional circumstances, video conferencing systems can also be used instead of traditional in-person instruction.

Recommended or required reading:
A list of recommended learning materials will be made available in the learning management system at the start of the semester.
