This course is the fifth of?eight consecutive courses in French offered at RMIT University.

The course will build on your existing knowledge of the French language and culture by engaging with film and multimedia and by examining a range of topical social issues. Through the analysis of a wide range of authentic materials (interviews, newspaper articles, songs) which discuss these themes, you will be given the opportunity to reflect on some social issues in contemporary France, and to apply these to the Australian context.

All classes will be delivered in French, and emphasis will be placed on the development of oral fluency and aural competency, as well as your written ability in the French language.

You will be encouraged to be responsible for your own learning and to build on your knowledge to a level where learning can continue in further study or self-directed learning. The course will equip you with further knowledge for cross-cultural situations within the framework of language and associated non-verbal communication.
