Course content, structure and teaching

The French studies takes up the question of internationalisation and regional economic integration in French-speaking parts of the world. In the first module a focal point will be economic, political and cultural relations between French-speaking countries, in particular within the Francophone. The second module raises the question of, how processes of internationalisation and globalisation are perceived from within French- speaking countries.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
Content:
  • identify a relevant topic based on the themes and concepts in the syllabus, and to construct links between their chosen topic and the other concepts and themes learned
  • show a clear understanding of the relationship between business and the surrounding society in the region in question, based on the concepts and themes in the syllabus.
Language:
  • fully comprehend the questions posed during the examination, and communicate in coherent French in order for their responses to flow and be fully intelligible
  • present and discuss the exam topic in French using an appropriate and varied vocabulary
  • speak grammatically correct and well-pronounced French, avoiding major grammatical, lexical, idiomatic or pronunciation errors that inhibit communication. At this stage, students should be able to show their linguistic awareness by correcting errors in the exam situation.
Teaching methods
Class teaching involves lectures, student presentations, group work, exercises and discussion. All teaching will take place in French, and all reading will also be in French.
Examination
The examination is oral and based on the material from the entire autumn semester. Students will write a synopsis on a topic of their choice, which eventually is used as a presentation and discussion. Two grades are given: one for content and one for language. The exam is held at the end of the autumn semester.
