Abstract

This course offers participants the opportunity to carry out a "case study" based on a topical issue in order to practice and improve the four language skills by developing a fictitious but plausible scenario that requires the use of specific rhetorical, lexical, and pragmatic tools.

Objective

The main objective of this course is to give participants an opportunity to practice and improve the four language skills (speaking and listening comprehension, writing and reading comprehension) through "case studies." Participants present a complex topic and interact by defending a point of view and/or responding to objections. In addition, the course allows participants to develop their knowledge of Francophone culture (the media and the press).
