Course aims

Brief description of the course

Topics have an academic focus and relate to the Francophone cultural sphere, supporting the development of the bachelor’s thesis. Grammar: syntactic and semantic analysis using appropriate metalanguage. Listening: detailed comprehension of authentic academic spoken texts (conference presentations, lectures, radio programmes, news). Reading: extended academic texts (articles, essays, chapters, books); analysis and interpretation of implicit meaning; analysis of text structure and functions. Written expression: writing syntheses based on multiple texts; argumentative writing; transcription, structured note‑taking, and written mediation in the appropriate register. Oral expression: delivering extended, well‑structured argumentative monologues on subject‑related topics using academic vocabulary. Students who have proficiency in French at level C1.1 may register for the course.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- understands and interprets complex academic spoken and written texts, analysing argumentation, structure, and implicit meanings;
- synthesises and compares information from multiple sources, forming an independent and well‑reasoned position;
- participates in academic discussions spontaneously and flexibly, responding critically to different viewpoints, expresses ideas on subject‑related topics fluently, precisely, and with stylistic awareness, adapting language use to academic contexts;
- produces complex academic texts (e.g. syntheses, argumentative analyses), using sources systematically and following academic writing conventions;
- creates and presents multimodal disciplinary texts using appropriate expressive means;
- applies language skills in independent research, supporting academic and scholarly work and using sources critically, reflects on the development of academic language use and shapes further professional and scholarly development consciously.
