This course is based on the common syllabus of the "COMMERCIO ESTERO E TURISMO" economics degree.
The French language course is aimed at reaching students' exhaustive Spanish knowledge and developing good comprehension skills of economic and tourism technical language.
The course aims to consolidate knowledge of the French language, both written (grammar, vocabulary) and oral (comprehension and expression), dealing in French with different topics of economics, and to provide students with the vocabulary and skills necessary for their professional life. The level to be achieved is level B1 of the Common Frame of Reference.
The course is not suitable for absolute beginners. Students should therefore already know the basics of written and spoken French (A2 level).
The course will deal with different themes of the French economy, such as: enterprise, capital, employment, production, promotion and distribution of the product, finance, turism, all with reference to the business world in France.
We recommend purchasing a French grammar (e.g. Grammaire facile du français - Zanichelli edizioni) and a French/Italian vocabulary (e.g. Boch).

Lessons will be added during the course
The examination consists of two parts:
- written part: grammar test developed by the CEL teacher (practical training)
- oral part: students will have to present orally a topic linked with economy (for eg. employment in tthe green economy, uber-like companies and precarity, import-export between France and Italy, the crisis in the mass distribution area, the Carlos Ghons' s Case (10 minutes) using online press articles and present a company of their choice (5 minutes). Personal opinions will be appreciated.
Each theme of the program will be treated follo through an article to read or a video to listen to and comment on). Some lessons will be dedicated to the preparation of personal work and the simulation of the oral exam.
Attendance at the lessons of the CEL is strongly recommended, particularly with regard to grammar aspects.
