French in practice - writing 3304-2D1O-PNJFWP-047
The curriculum is focused on improving writing skills in French including:
a. creation of varied forms of texts, such as argumentative statement, synthèse de textes, review of cultural texts, writing an article or script (podcast);
b. linguistic preparation for editing a thesis;
c. stylistic and lexical exercises.
The classes are dedicated to such issues as:
- general features of speech (communicativeness, clarity and precision of written expression);
- ways of referencing another person's speech, and ways of expressing and justifying value judgments;
- criteria of argumentative coherence (types of arguments, rules of paragraph, text construction);
- characteristics of the various forms of written expression (analysis, exercises, writing own texts);
- language as a tool of written expression (enrichment of morpho-syntactic structures, expansion of vocabulary, improvement of stylistic fluency).
With regard to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in classes, the rules set out in Resolution No. 42 of the Teaching Council for the Roman Philology degree programme, dated 15 April 2024, apply.
