Before commencing this course, students should: - be familiar with the basic rules of practical French grammar as taught over the course of four semesters, and possess a basic knowledge of the humanities; - be able to read and understand authentic texts, and comprehend monologues and dialogues spoken by native speakers; hold conversations on everyday and cultural topics, and participate in discussions; express their thoughts logically and coherently in both spoken and written form; plan and evaluate their own work; and use interactive and multimedia resources. - possess basic skills in academic research and information management; adopt a critical approach to the phenomena under analysis; use specialist foreign-language information sources; work with various types of texts; produce complex oral and written messages; interact and collaborate in learning in research-oriented situations.

The aim of the course is to familiarise future philologists with the current state of research into the grammatical structure of the French language and with the main issues in French morphology and syntax in the light of the guiding principles of modern linguistics; to help students acquire the necessary knowledge regarding the grammatical system of modern French, identify the basic units of language, define the subject and methods of studying morphology and syntax and reveal their interaction, as well as to teach students to use specialised methods of scientific analysis of grammatical phenomena and demonstrate research techniques on specific linguistic material with the aim of developing professional linguistic thinking. The course ‘Theoretical and Practical Grammar of the French Language’ is included in the list of compulsory courses for full-time students and is taught in the fifth semester of the Bachelor’s programme in accordance with the curriculum of the educational and professional programme ‘French Language and Translation, English Language and a Second Romance Language’. It is taught in the fifth semester, carrying 3 credits, totalling 90 hours, of which 28 hours are lectures, 16 hours are practical sessions, and 46 hours are independent study. ‘Theoretical Grammar of the French Language’ is one of the core standard linguistic subjects in the professional training of future philologists. The course focuses on linguistic phenomena, language units and speech at various levels of language from the perspective of their functional interrelationships. This course is designed to develop students’ theoretical and hypothetical thinking, to foster the ability to apply key linguistic concepts to related disciplines, and to promote an understanding of the dialectical nature of the fundamental principles of linguistics.

The course consists of three content modules. Forms of continuous assessment: oral responses, written homework assignments, module test. Forms of module assessment: module test. Final assessment: conducted in the form of a comprehensive examination

The final mark for the content module is calculated by adding the mark for ongoing performance to the mark for the module assessment: Written homework assignments + oral response + module assessment: (max. 30, min. 18). Students who have scored a total of fewer points across the two modules than the critical minimum of 36 points will not be permitted to sit the exam. For students who have not reached the minimum threshold mark during the semester, a final semester assessment is held at the end of the semester, or essays and presentations on course topics are assessed. The maximum mark for additional forms of assessment may not exceed 40% of the maximum total marks for the semester – 24 marks. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student during the semester and the marks obtained in the exam. The maximum weighting is distributed as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessments and 40 marks (40%) – the exam.
