Grammar Course designed to improve writing skills
[Intermediate to Advanced]
Difficultés de la langue française - a two semester course from the University of Portsmouth designed to improve grammatical accuracy in writing of English learners of French. The course is based on the observation that foreign learners of French recurrently make particular mistakes when they write and that this is often due to a lack of grammatical knowledge. Thus, it is hypothesised that these mistakes can be avoided thanks to an introduction to/a revision of basic grammatical concepts (i.e. What is a Part of Speech? What is a Grammatical Function? What do Gender and Number mean? etc.
