FRENCH ΙΙΙ FOR HISTORIANS

The lesson responds to the academic and future professional needs of the students. Working on texts from the book “Le français à travers l’histoire de France (French trough the History of France), students get in touch for the first time with texts with historical content concerning different historical periods. They get familiarized with the related language and terminology. They discover grammar elements typical for texts with historical content. Emphasis is given on the intercultural approach.

The aim of the lesson is the acquisition of the most accurate reading-comprehension competence. The texts used during the lessons concern the history of France, from the prehistorical period until the Middle Age so students get used to the terminology of this period. At the end of the course, students understand relatively easily the basic bibliography concerning the studied period and are able to learn more about it in French and from French perspective in other documents or even primary sources.
