Hide-FR20180 La France d'aujourd'hui
Academic Year 2022/2023
Can the birth of the French nation be dated? Where do the French flag, the motto ‘Liberté, égalité, fraternité’ and other French symbols come from? And what do these symbols mean in contemporary France? What role does France or French language play in the contemporary world? This module will shed light on these and many other fundamental questions through a series of general civilisation-type themes on French history, economy, society and culture. It will also introduce students to a number of practicalities regarding living in France today and will therefore be of particular interest to students planning to study or work in France.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
- describe and discuss key characteristics of contemporary France;
- deploy a wide-ranging vocabulary relating to these themes;
- demonstrate the ability to source, read and analyse relevant press articles in an independent fashion;
- give a coherent and structured presentation in French on one aspect of contemporary France.
