French For Professional Purposes 3B (R1140)
15 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
This module is for students who can already communicate with some independence in the target language at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR]. Building on existing levels of proficiency the module aims to:
- enable you to understand and communicate effectively the main ideas and detail within an extended project in the target language
- encourage you to be independent and enable you to source and select appropriate resources relevant to your independent study project
- develop a range of complex language structures, syntax, and specialised vocabulary to allow consistent accuracy, control, cohesion and fluidity in use of the target language
- help you analyse a subject linked to your chosen field of study.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
