FRNC3633: French 7
2025 unit information
This unit is designed for students who have completed FRNC3002. It explores French and Francophone current events and contemporary debates through texts (literature and theory), images (including films) and news-related multimedia sources. Students consolidate communicative and analytical skills with oral and written activities designed to examine some of the political/social/cultural/spatial and generational divides that define today's Francophone worlds. Through essay writing, close analysis, oral presentation and in-class discussion, students further develop their advanced language skills and strengthen their grasp of contemporary French and Francophone societies and cultures.
