Applied French 2B (Intensive) module (PF22002)

This Applied Intensive module is available for students who took the Applied Intensive module at level 1 in this language.

All language modules focus on practical communication skills and further develop grammatical competence emphasising the four skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking. You will recognise and apply competently basic lexical and grammatical structures, use a bilingual dictionary effectively and be able to read, understand and summarise the main points of basic and increasingly complex written texts and complex spoken messages in a variety of situations.
