| Learning objectives |
To achieve the grade 12, students
should meet the following learning objectives with no or only minor
mistakes or errors:
- Content:
- present a well-structured summary of text excerpts and
establish links between the topics and concepts raised in the text
and the region-specific political, economic and social features
introduced in the course literature of the 1st and 2nd semester,
and
- identify and describe key institutions, moments and figures in
the regions studied.
- Language:
- communicate in sufficiently coherent French so that the
responses are intelligible,
- using appropriate French vocabulary, and
- speak in grammatically accurate and well-pronounced French,
that is, avoiding major grammatical, lexical, idiomatic or
pronunciation errors that inhibit communication. At this stage,
students should be able to show some degree of linguistic awareness
by beginning to correct their errors in the exam
situation.

| Course content and
structure |
|
The course is built up around two dimensions – content and
language. The content dimension builds upon knowledge and
understanding acquired in the 1st semester with a view to further
exploring the interaction between the global and local contexts in
French-speaking parts of the world. In the second semester, focus
is on exploring, in a comparative perspective, some of the key
institutions, moments and figures that can illuminate our
understanding of how a particular context encounters globalisation.
Successive backward views in history will be introduced with a view
to better comprehend present taken-for-granted values and practices
as well as cooperation and conflicts betweenselected Francophone
parts of the world.Topics include state and nation formation;
colonialism, political, economic and educational institutions;
social security and religion.
The language dimension is aimed at improving the students’
grammar skills, pronunciation and fluency as well as their
listening and comprehension skills. Emphasis will also be placed on
learning and exercising phrases needed in order to make
presentations and participate in class discussions.
|
| Teaching methods |
| All teaching and reading will be in
French. A combination of lectures, class discussions and student
presentations will develop students’ knowledge and ability to
analyse and understand current cultural and social processes in the
chosen region. |
