Learning outcomes

In accordance with the specificities of the course of study, lessons aim at providing an introductory knowledge of French history and culture. The course will equally focus on deepening the interrelation existing between society, culture and literature during the twentieth century taking into consideration literary texts by canonical authors. Lessons will be held in French. The critical bibliography is also in foreign language. This will contribute to improve students' language skills. At the end of the lessons, students will acquire socio-cultural, historical and literary knowledge specific to the chosen tourist and commercial orientation. They will also demonstrate that they can apply, in an autonomous way and in a foreign language, the acquired knowledge to the analysis of literary texts concerning the central subject of the course.

Program

Title: Vers le pays des images
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the evolution of the novel literary form elaborated in France in the 20th century in the relationship between literature and “travel”. He or she will be able to read and explain a single texte and set it in its historical and literary context.
