Full-time form

Before commencing the course in the fourth semester, students must have attained a level of French no lower than B1, acquired during previous semesters. They must demonstrate confident oral and written communication skills, a command of basic grammatical structures, and a sufficient vocabulary to work with authentic texts of various genres. Students must be able to analyse linguistic and translation phenomena, work with different types of texts, apply basic translation strategies and use reference and digital resources. The ability to undertake independent analytical work, participate in discussions and projects, and adhere to the principles of academic integrity is essential.

The course (3 credits, 90 hours) combines practical sessions (40 hours) with independent study (50 hours). Practical classes are aimed at developing language skills across all areas of language use (speaking, listening, reading, writing), systematic study of lexical and grammatical material, and the development of phonetic skills and communicative competence. Students complete individual and group tasks (language exercises, dialogues, role-plays, projects), work with authentic texts and audiovisual materials, and undertake extensive independent study using educational and digital resources. Teaching methods include communicative and interactive approaches, practice-oriented learning, the explanatory-illustrative method, the problem-solving method, elements of project-based learning, as well as the use of multimedia and digital tools. The course is designed to intensively develop students’ linguistic, communicative and sociocultural competences.

The course combines practical sessions with independent study. Practical sessions are designed to develop language skills across all areas of language use (speaking, listening, reading and writing), practise vocabulary and grammar, and develop phonetic skills and communicative competence. Students undertake individual and group tasks (language exercises, dialogues, role-plays, mini-projects), work with authentic texts and audiovisual materials, and carry out independent study using educational resources. Teaching methods include communicative and interactive approaches, practice-oriented learning, the explanatory-illustrative method, the problem-solving method, as well as the use of digital resources and multimedia tools. The course is aimed at developing students’ linguistic, communicative and sociocultural competences.

Throughout the semester, 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 calculated from the marks obtained by the student during the completion of the specified types and forms of assessment and those obtained in the exam. The marks are allocated as follows: 60 marks (60%) for continuous assessment and 40 marks (40%) for the exam. If a student scores fewer than 24 marks in the exam (i.e. 60% of the 40 marks allocated to the exam), these are not added to the semester mark regardless of the number of marks obtained during the semester, and only the number of marks obtained during the semester is indicated in the ‘final mark for the subject’ column of the examination record.
