Description

The course presents, in the target language, key aspects of French linguistics relevant to the study and teaching of French as a foreign language.

You will acquire the tools of linguistic analysis necessary for a rational understanding of how the French language works, not only in terms of its sound system (phonetics, phonology) but also in terms of word formation processes (morphology, lexicology) and sentence structure (syntax, grammar).

As an added benefit, these tools will also help you to improve your pronunciation as well as to boost your overall spelling and sentence writing skills.
