The Second level language course has been designed to consolidate and extend the analytical and linguistic skills you have acquired at First level and in FR2201. You will understand better how the language works, how it is used and how to analyse it. You will also develop your skills in spoken, aural and written French for a variety of academic and communication purposes and in different cultural contexts. This will prepare you directly for the linguistic requirements of the year abroad as well as the analytical skills required at honours level.
