Advanced French Literature: Boule de suif (Ball of Fat)

This course is suitable for those who have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of the language (CEFR Level B1/C2).

This course will cover the most important topics and characters discussed in the book. It is recommended that learners enrolling onto the course have read the book before the start of the course. The course will be delivered in French and learners will be expected to interact and participate in discussions in the language.

In this non-qualification course you will learn the language in an immersive way. The tutor will be responsive to the class needs, responding to the group weaknesses. Learners are expected to predominately practice their speaking and listening skills in class and practice reading and writing skills as part of regular homework tasks. This gives the tutor an opportunity to identify group weaknesses and to provide you with personalised feedback to help you improve.

You need to have a good understanding of the spoken language, as well as be able to produce it verbally (to a greater or lesser degree of accuracy) in order to access lessons and complete tasks effectively.

This course leads to advanced courses (CEFR B2-C2). Your tutor will be able to give you more information before the end of your course.
