The course aims to consolidate knowledge of French, both written (grammar, vocabulary) and spoken (listening comprehension and speaking), to cover various aspects of economics in French, and the acquisition of professional language skills.
Knowing the basic linguistic terminology and how to use it both in writing and in oral. Understanding the texts that use it. Knowing how to properly use the terminology in all application and communication processes.
The course is not designed for absolute beginners. Students should have a basic working knowledge of French (level A2).
The course will discuss, in a very easy way, various issues of the economy, such as: enterprise, capital, work, production, promotion and product distribution, finance, insurance, everything with reference to the business world in France, and topics related to tourism.
The material to be studied is contained in the "dispensa"published on Moodle and in the book of the Professor "Le francais des affaires" - Ed. Cafoscarina.
Students will need to get one grammar book (e.g. Précis de grammaire française - Grévisse) and an Italian-French dictionnary (e.g. Boch).
The exam consists of two parts:
- written part: grammar test elaborated by the CEL
- oral part: students will have to speak about one of the themes - of their choice - studied during the lessons (about ten minutes) and present a folder with the personal work done during the year (presentation of a company of their choice). They will then be questioned about the entire program of the year.
Each theme of the program will be presented with the help of a theoretical presentation in PowerPoint followed by a practical part (article to read or videos to listen and comment). Some lessons will be dedicated to the preparation of personal work and the simulation of the oral exam.
It is highly recommended to attend the CEL lessons, in particular regarding grammar.
The schedule of lessons, the program, the material to be studied and the exams are clearly displayed from September 2020 in the file called ”French for economic and business - ET4012 VENEZIA - 2020-21”, in Moodle.
ATTENTION, this course will be deactivated starting from 2021/2022.
