French 8 @COMBI50% Oral + Written part 1

Official name: Frans Richtgraad 4 (ERK C1) - Frans Effectiveness Mondeling A Frans Richtgraad 4 (ERK C1) - Frans Effectiveness Schriftelijk A

You speak and write decent French, but you feel it could be smoother. Your sentences could be clearer, your choice of words more precise, your style better. You want to understand films and reports, even if the accent you hear is not what you are used to. You want to understand difficult newspaper articles and opinion pieces, even if you don't know all the words in the text. And you also want to get off the beaten path in terms of topics.

This French Effectiveness @combi course is spread over 2 school years. The first school year you follow part A or part B and the next school year the other part.

Alternatively you work on your written competences at home, via our online learning platform (level Effectiveness 2) and on your oral competences in class (level Effectiveness 1).
