This course is for students who are confident in basic French conversation, wishing to improve their grammar and vocabulary. Students should have achieved A-level or equivalent or spend part of the year in France.
In this class we discuss a different topic each week, taken from French news, focusing on the exchange of ideas and accuracy of language in a friendly atmosphere allowing everybody to work at their own pace. We also explore cultural events and read French literature, both classic and modern.
Materials. Students will be asked to buy a novel. Other reading and listening material will be provided by the tutor.
