THIRD-LEVEL STUDENTS
Advanced Programme for 3rd-Level
This course is designed to help 3rd-level students in their written and oral expression. While the course will concentrate particularly on a final-year level programme, it will be of interest to 1st year and 2nd year students also wishing to accelerate their acquisition of French at university level (equivalent to C1/C2 level). As our staff members have experiences as language tutors and examiners at Irish University level, our courses are based on a comprehensive knowledge of curriculum requirements.
The aim of the course is to help students:
- compose grammatically correct, coherently argued written pieces and summaries on a range of abstract topics (current affairs, cultural, socio-cultural, etc.), concentration on specific advanced-level vocabulary and idiomatic structures.
- Improve reading comprehension skills across a variety of genres (journalistic, critical, literary pieces).
- Improve translation skills.
- Develop oral expression skills in key topic areas.
TERMS & COSTS as per Adult Classes. See timetable.
PRIVATE TUITION is also available for Third-level students
