As studies of French and Romance Language and Literature are centred on the linguistic and literary areas, the knowledge acquired in first year will be developed and completed by the study of Spanish and Hispano American literature and through a more systematic approach of diachronic and synchronic linguistics. It will also enable the students to familiarise themselves with authentic sources (oral and written) as well as reference documents in linguistic and literature.
The course also emphasises oral expression: presentations, commentary and analysis of literary texts as well as the mastery of the written language through writing summaries and essays.
It will encourage the students to have an active attitude and carry out personal work in the library for instance.

At the end of the course students will have reached the B1-B2 level defined by the Common European Framework of Reference.
