4. Goal of study subject
To broaden students’ competence of practical French through development of communicative abilities of spoken,
written and listening comprehension in the spheres of social, professional and academic language. To develop use of
speaking and writing elements in the discourse of various functional styles and registers; to develop the discourse of
academic language and meta-language. To analyse and interpret fiction and publicist texts, to expand knowledge of
language competences, to apply it for development of future teacher‘s abilities of self-assessment, creativity and critical
thinking. To provide students with communicative-linguistic competences: linguistic, socio-linguistic and pragmatic;
with strategic competences: activity planning, performance, evaluation.
5. Abstract
Students are taught to understand standard spoken language, which is heard live through media on personal and public
topics. Students listen to records on specific and abstract topics, radio programmes on current events. They read and
stylistically analyse texts by authors of contemporary French literature and publicist texts. Students learn to create clear
detailed texts on various topics generalising and evaluating information and arguments from various resources. They are
taught to participate in official discussion, to evaluate alternative suggestions, to formulate hypotheses, to react to
hypotheses and provide contra arguments.
