Full-time form

Successful completion of the cycle of theoretical and practical courses in professional training, including such disciplines as “French Language,” “Linguistic and Cultural Studies,” “Introduction to Romance Philology,” and “Theoretical Phonetics.”

The objective of the course is to develop and provide students with knowledge of the main patterns of the development of the French language, the periods of its history, their general historical, sociolinguistic, and linguocultural characteristics, as well as the features of the phonetic, grammatical, and lexical structure of French at different stages of its evolution, and the principal trends in its development. The course "History and Dialectology of the French Language" is included in the list of compulsory disciplines for full-time study and is taught in the fourth semester of the Bachelor’s program in accordance with the curriculum of the educational and professional program "French Language and Translation, English Language and a Second Romance Language". The course comprises 2 ECTS credits, totaling 60 academic hours, including 14 hours of lectures, 16 hours of practical classes, and 30 hours of independent study. "History and Dialectology of the French Language" is one of the core mandatory linguistic disciplines in the system of professional training of future philologists. Its subject is the study of the formation and development of the main systemic characteristics of the French language, as well as the complex of linguistic and extralinguistic factors that determine this development, from a diachronic perspective. The course is aimed at mastering the theoretical foundations that explain the main patterns of the development of the French language and at acquiring practical skills in understanding and analyzing linguistic material from different periods of its history.

Lectures, practical sessions, independent study.

Throughout the semester, following lectures on the relevant topics, practical sessions are held during which assessment takes place in accordance with the types of work and forms of assessment. The course concludes with an examination. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student during the completion of the specified types and forms of assessment and those obtained in the examination. The maximum weighting is allocated as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessment and 40 marks (40%) – examination. If a student scores fewer than 24 marks in the exam (i.e. 60% of the 40 marks allocated to the exam), these marks are not added to the semester mark regardless of the number of marks obtained during the semester, and the examination record will show only the number of marks obtained during the semester in the ‘final mark for the subject’ column Excellent 90-100 Good 75-89 Satisfactory 60-74 Fail 0-59
