The course is offered to students who have at least an elementary knowledge of the language (A2). It focuses on the familiarization with authors and texts belonging to the modern and contemporary French and Francophone linguistic and cultural field. In particular, the analysis of significant works in the original language will allow to develop the ability to understand morphosyntactic aspects of French language and dynamics relating to social and cultural French-speaking world from the twentieth century to today.

Expected learning outcomes: students will develop their basic language skills and will be able to rework disciplinary elements and themes in an intercultural context.
