Content

Target audience

This course is open to all students and staff of the University of Fribourg and its partner institutions.

Course contents and teaching method

The course focuses on oral and written skills (written and oral comprehension / written and oral production). The written comprehension and production tasks will mainly be done at home as they require a lot of time. In this way, we will be able to devote more time to listening comprehension and oral production in class. Grammar and vocabulary are seen as tools that will enable us to support the work on reception and production skills. 

Grammar is not the objective of this course (a B2 level grammar course exists) but it will sometimes be worked on for the needs of the course.

Workload and evaluation

This course requires regular homework (approximately 1 hour per week).

To validate the course, students must attend at least 80% of the sessions and pass the exams offered during the semester.
