Università Roma Tre

The course includes the study of the fundamental structures of the French language (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, syntax) applied to specific exercises and to the reading, re-elaboration, deepening, written and oral, of Charles Perrault's fairy tales and other children's literature . For the students of the degree course in sociology, particular attention will be paid to the learning of vocabulary inherent to the historical and sociological analysis of the themes inherent to the world of Perrault and to the confrontation with contemporary problems in the French and French-speaking world.
