Abstract

This course offers participants the opportunity to read short stories in order to raise their awareness of linguistic aspects and cultural issues in the Francophone world, and to improve their oral skills, mainly through oral presentations.

Objective

The primary objective of this course is to develop participants’ written comprehension and, more specifically, to refine their perception of the implicit meanings and cultural aspects present in the literary texts proposed for reading. The course further aims to raise participants' awareness of contemporary cultural issues in the Francophone world. Another goal is to improve participants’ oral skills, specifically so they can deliver structured presentations and express personal, informed, and nuanced opinions.
