French Intermediate & Advanced - Culture & Conversation
This course focuses on conversation skills and is taught in a fun and friendly atmosphere by a native speaker who has many years of experience of teaching French to adults. Improve your French and cultural knowledge by reading French magazines and newspapers articles, and listening to and watching French TV news extracts, and other audio and visual materials which explore topical issues in France. A wide range of specific activities will help you to focus on and retain the language.

The course will help you to use the language correctly and confidently using idiomatic French. You will also improve your understanding of contemporary France, through the use of authentic and current materials.

The emphasis is on spoken French, therefore there will be plenty of opportunities for you to engage in lively whole class and group conversations. This is an enjoyable and welcoming course, and you will find it easy to join in with the online conversations.

This course is taught online via Zoom, so please ensure you read the section 'Is there anything else I need to know?'

This course is for anyone interested in developing their skills in French through different topics of conversation. Ideally you will have already studied French for at least five years (fairly recently) and have a good grasp of grammar and spoken French. Alternatively, you may wish to regain fluency in French if you learned the language to a good standard many years ago.

The course takes learners to B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) which is equivalent to the second year of A level.

If you are unsure which level of course you should join, please email us at york.learning@york.gov.uk and we will pass on your query to the tutor.

This course provides skills for self improvement, which could lead to further study in the subject leading to work as a translator/interpreter.
