Learning objectives

By the end of the course, students will be able to: * master the notions of “norm” and “variation” as sociolinguistic phenomena; * apply them to the analysis of French texts related to professional communication; * show that they have reached linguistic skills in French corresponding to C2 level of CEFR.

Prerequisites and basic notions

For the exam: C2 level in French

Program

1. Types of phraseological units ("locutions", "collocations", "pragmatèmes", "clichés") and examples.
2. Syntactic and semantic properties of phraseological units; their formalization.
3. Application of theoretical notions to didactic context (French L2 teaching and learning).

Didactic methods

Attending students

Lectures concerning theoretical notions about phraseological units, and exercises related to the different types of phraseological units. The last part of the course will be dedicated to the application of theoretical notions to didactic context.
Students may choose to present, during the course, a proposal for teaching unit focusing on phraseologial units in French L2. The course materials and any further details will be published after each lecture on the dedicated e-learning platform, which will include calendarization of the lessons and detailed program. During the academic year the teacher will be available during office hours (see web page).

Learning assessment procedures

Oral examination, entirely in French, aiming at ensuring the acquisition of theoretical notions and the ability to apply them in practical cases.

Attending students may pass two ongoing assessments. The first assessment (writtent test) will concern the first and second parts of the program and will consist of a set of 'open' questions and exercises concerning diatopic variation and phraseological units. The second assessment (oral exposition) will consist in the presentation of a didactic project concerning phraseological units.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The oral interview will test:
- the breadth and completeness of the contents;
- the ability to exemplify;
- clarity.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The oral examination concerns the entire program and can be taken after obtaining C2 level. The final mark will be obtained from the average of the language level converted to /30 based on the indications in the "Vademecum normativo per gli studenti dell'Area di Lingue e Letterature Straniere" and the oral examination and will be expressed in /30. ERASMUS students are asked to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course for explainations.

For attending students only:
Each assessment will be evaluated in /30. The exam will be completed during the oral examination. The final mark will be given by the average of the oral examination and ongoing assessments.
