What Advanced (C1+) French means

At C1+ French, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.

  • Qualify an argument

    Bien que l’argument soit globalement convaincant, il néglige plusieurs conséquences imprévues.

    While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.

  • Convey nuance

    Ce n’est pas la proposition elle-même que je conteste, mais la précipitation avec laquelle elle est mise en œuvre.

    I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.

  • Adapt your register

    Je vous saurais gré de bien vouloir reconsidérer cette décision au vu des informations complémentaires ci-jointes.

    I would be grateful if you would reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.

These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.

About this course

The course develops advanced French through discussion of topics chosen at the start of the term, which may include current affairs and culture. Learners revise complex grammar in context, with the specific areas shaped by an initial assessment involving the tutor and group. Teaching centres on communication through pair and group work, role plays, games, listening activities and discussion. Learners work with audio-visual material, including radio, television and film extracts, while practising more accurate French in both speech and writing.

  • Discuss current affairs in French with greater confidence
  • Express opinions on cultural matters
  • Identify specific information in radio, television and film extracts
  • Construct more accurate sentences when speaking and writing
