French 4/5: pratique et perfectionnement: module 3
A French revision course covering past, present and future communication through spoken interaction, pair work, group activities and role play.
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.

About this course
The course revisits and consolidates French through topics including holidays, personal experiences, free time, advice, instructions, past habits and future plans. Language work covers the simple past, present perfect, imperfect, present continuous, comparatives, object pronouns, the imperative and future tense. Teaching centres on spoken communication, with pair and group activities, role plays, games, presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources. Homework is recommended to reinforce the class work. The course is intended to help learners prepare for a subsequent level 2 or 3 French course.

Is this course right for you?

Participation involves regular spoken interaction, pair work, group work and role plays.
- Existing French is expected, rather than first-time study
