Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2018-19

Asignatura dedicada a trabajar las 5 competencias lingüísticas establecidas en el MECR para alcanzar el nivel B1.1, permitiendo así que el alumnado alcance un nivel umbral en francés que le permita desenvolverse con medios lingüísticos suficientes para mantener una conversación sobre temas de la vida cotidiana y para comprender lo esencial de textos orales y escritos, principalmente de nivel de lengua estándar. Al tratarse del aprendizaje de un segundo idioma extranjero, se recurrirá a las estrategias que el alumno/a utiliza en los demás idiomas que conoce, para que su aprendizaje sea más rentable y rápido. Siendo importante el dominio de varios idiomas extranjeros en la sociedad actual, esta asignatura colma esta necesidad y enriquece al/a la aprendiz en su formación cultural, ya que el estudio de la lengua francesa integra también la competencia sociocultural de la misma y hace viable la comunicación en los medios profesionales y académicos en los que el alumno/a se desenvolverá en el futuro. La asignatura se relaciona directamente con la asignatura Lengua francesa II, así como con las asignaturas optativas del itinerario de Estudios franceses.
