Objectives
French 1 is a link between the competencies obtained in the secundary education and the professional oriented competencies that will be developped in the following years.

The students develop their communicative skills by the means of authentic material in option oriented situations. They obtain also a number of professional oriented competencies.

There is attention for the 4 skills (listen, read, speak and write) and for formation of attitude (critical adjustment, sense for quality, creativity, precision and accuracy, self-confidence, sense for collaboration). This forms the basis for the more specific professional oriented competencies that are offered later in the programm.

Topics
- general, economic and professional oriented French by means of texts, word lists, audio-visual material
- skill exercises round different themes from the professional field
- repetition of the basic French grammar with exercises round the pressure points.

Prerequisites
We expect the following attitudes from our students: motivation, inquisitiveness and perseverance.
