The syllabus present familiar situations (asking for information at university, about, describing accommodation, shopping, and other everyday life issues). The writing and reading skills are developed once students are familiar with French pronunciation. The course is interactive and cooperative. Besides the syllabus, students have access to on-line exercises on the Intranet (platform Moodle).
