The course "Francophone Literature of the 21st Century" is a compulsory component for students majoring in 035 “Philology” (Romance languages, with French as the first language) at the Bachelor’s level. It is taught in the fifth semester (3 ECTS credits: 34 hours of lectures, 14 hours of seminars, and 56 hours of independent study; 2 hours per week). The final assessment is an exam. The course focuses on the patterns of development and the artistic features of 21st-century Francophone literature. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary Francophone literary process, including knowledge of major movements, styles, genres, and key concepts, as well as skills in textual analysis using cultural-historical, hermeneutic, intertextual, and comparative approaches.

In-class work integrates and builds on students’ independent study of theoretical material in preparation for classroom activities, including oral responses, supplementary contributions, tests, and presentations.

Lectures and seminars are conducted throughout the semester, with assessment based on the specified types of tasks and forms of control. Students who score below the minimum threshold of 36 points are not admitted to the final exam. For those who do not reach the required minimum during the semester, a final semester test is administered at the end of the course, consisting of both theoretical and practical tasks. The maximum score for additional forms of assessment may not exceed 40% of the total semester grade (24 points). The final course grade is calculated from the points earned during the semester and the exam results, with the following distribution: 60 points (60%) for continuous assessment and 40 points (40%) for the final exam.
