What this paper is about
Edit What this paper is about Content
In FRNCH331 we explore different registers of French from casual to formal. To work on formal written structures we will practice creative writing and professional correspondence, including the preparation of your CV and a cover letter for a job application. Along the way we will work on vocabulary themes and revise grammar as necessary.

This paper is in Flexi mode so people attending online will have access to all necessary material. I am happy to hold some or all classes on Zoom if it suits everyone. The most important aspect of language learning is regular attendance and practice regardless of the format used.

Required Readings
Edit Required Readings Content
We will work extensively with up-to-date online material and will not use a textbook.
You should own or have access to:
- a good French dictionary like Le Petit Robert or the Trésor de la langue française. Other online dictionaries like www.le-dictionnaire.com may also be suitable.
- a French-English dictionary (a Collins-Robert or Oxford-Hachette, for example, or www.wordreference.com),
- a reference grammar. Le Point du FLE is good; so is googling something like ('French adjective agreements' or 'French il est vs c'est')
- a set of verb tables (www.conjugaison.com)
The Library has many dictionaries and grammars. Avoid Internet translation software—it's too unreliable for complex structures and the subtle points of grammar and vocab we'll be covering!
