This module aims to introduce students to French and gradually develop their ability to the level of A1 as outlined by the Common European Framework for Languages.

Students should develop a basic understanding of everyday vocabulary, understand the rules of pronunciation and have a basic grasp of the relevant grammar for that level.

The module will allow students gain sufficient proficiency in French to:

• manage to pronounce very short, isolated mainly ready-made expressions;

• show a limited control of a few simple grammatical structures;

• use a very basic repertoire of words related to personal details;

• use a limited range of vocabulary to talk about particular concrete situations;

• use a small range of ready-made expressions and phrases related to everyday topics (introductions, leave-taking, apologies);

• write simple isolated phrases and sentences on everyday topics.
