Brief description of the course

Topics focus on the field of study and the Francophone cultural sphere, supporting the development of the bachelor’s thesis. Grammar: structures are learned in context, based on the themes addressed. Listening: comprehension of academic spoken discourse and development of interactional competence. Reading: analysis of academic, journalistic, and literary texts; synthesis of information across texts. Written expression: writing descriptive and argumentative texts, including argumentative essays. Oral expression: emphasis on discussion, argumentation from different perspectives, appropriate register use, and oral expression techniques. Strong focus on vocabulary development and peer collaboration. Students who have proficiency in French at level B2.1 may register for the course.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- understands academic, journalistic, and literary texts related to the field and analyses their main arguments, understands extended argumentative spoken discourse on subject‑related topics and interprets essential information;
- selects, synthesises, and analyses information from multiple sources, creating intertextual connections;
- participates in academic discussions, presenting and defending viewpoints while considering different perspectives, delivers structured and substantial oral presentations using appropriate terminology and more complex constructions;
- produces coherent and argumentative written texts (including essays), using sources and justifying viewpoints, uses appropriate academic language and register and develops subject‑specific vocabulary;
- applies language skills independently and collaboratively, using sources purposefully to support learning and research, presents structured and substantial oral accounts of subject‑related issues and explains key disciplinary questions in an appropriate foreign language, adapting language use to different audiences and cultural contexts;
- reflects on the development of academic language skills and applies them in further learning and research tasks.
