A combination of teaching and learning methods are used to enhance subject-specific skills. These include: traditional lectures; interactive small group tutorials; weekly workshops



Students are actively encouraged to make use of a variety of resources for independent study, particularly in the target language, class preparation and assignments: the French press, radio, television, video films and documentaries, as well as the internet.

Methods of Assessment

A combination of assessment methods are used to test the development and enhancement of subject-specific skills. These include: tutorial portfolio system; group presentations; case studies, both structured and unstructured; group assignments; individual assignments; class tests and end of semester examinations.

With respect to the language component, a wide variety of language exercises are used in written- and spoken-language classes (presentations, debate, resume, essay, comprehension, grammar tests, prose, translation) and a range of language skills are developed and assessed. These include: knowledge and understanding of vocabulary, and of the structures and registers of language, translation skills, the structuring and development of arguments in French; fluency and idiom; summary and synthesising skills; planning and composing oral presentations/exposes. Grammatical knowledge is under continuous review, and explanation, description and analysis of grammar forms an important part of language classes. Specialist language classes develop a detailed knowledge of commercial French and the environment in which it is used. The use of French as the primary medium of instruction and assessment also develops students’ communicative and receptive skills.
