Be able to recognise familiar words and very basic phrases concerning oneself, his/her family and immediate concrete surroundings when people speak slowly and clearly.
2/ Reading

5/ Writing
Be able to write a short, simple postcard, for example sending holiday greetings.
Be able to fill in forms with personal details, for example entering
his/her name, nationality and address on a hotel registration form.
By the end of the semester students will have developed the five communication skills defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in order to be able
(1) to understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases;
(2) to interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
Students will also have to develop their own strategies to face challenges when completing tasks and discovering Francophonie. These strategies will help them to monitor their life long learning process.
1. Phonetics: the alphabet; pronunciation, namely diphthongs and nasals, liaison between words.
2. Grammatical skills: articles and contraction; possessive determiners; regular and irregular conjugation of the indicative and imperative present tense; introduction to the past tense ; plural nouns and agreement in gender and number between the noun and the adjective; simple negation; personal subject and tonic pronouns; interrogative form; near future tense.
3. Communicative skills: basic greeting, leave-taking and other polite conventions; introducing oneself or someone else; describing oneself and others; making or answering a phone call; expressing likes and dislikes; speaking about daily routine, and personal plans; asking and answering personal question; asking for and giving information on familiar topics; expressing agreement; locating in time and place; understanding simple written and oral texts; writing simple descriptive texts.
Interactive and task-oriented approach.
The proposed activities aim to develop students’ skills and autonomy by completing various tasks, individually or in a group, in order to achieve results to be shared in class or on the Moodle platform. These tasks include (1) search for lexical information to be shared on the e-learning platform (glossary); (2) search for information about gastronomy and tourism (recipes, flight schedules, tourist attractions schedules and prices of admission) to be shared on the e-learning platform (forum); (3) group role-playing exercises; (4) writing short texts (post cards, self portrait and portraying others, description of daily activities); (5) oral presentation in a group about gastronomy or tourism.
