Università Roma Tre

The 54-hour / 9 credits course (36 for 6 credits) will take place in the second semester.


On an experimental basis, the course will use the help of the DUOLINGO language learning platform. In order to understand its operation aimed at the preparation of the French Language course by gradually starting to increase prerequisites BEFORE the beginning of the course, the Lecturer proposes a meeting in the first semester via TEAMS platform (preferably in October 2023) to discuss it and give some directions. Continued intensive use of DUOLINGO may be considered valid for exemption from a grammar part of the exam. To activate this mode, interested students please write to me as soon as possible at my email marina.geat@uniroma3.it


Students of other degree programs will attend the course for the number of hours / credits (or study a proportionally reduced program agreed with the teacher) as provided for in the organization of their degree program.
The commitment to attend the course must be undertaken in a rigorous and continuous manner, as a structured study path, ongoing checks, individual and group work with weekly deadlines is envisaged.
By attending students we mean those who are present at at least 2/3 of the course hours and who regularly participate in all activities, individual and collective, both carried out in person and carried out through the Formonline multimedia platform.
Anyone who, for any reason, cannot ensure this continuity of attendance and / or participation, can equally attend the course by reporting their particular situation to the teacher and in any case referring to the program and the exam provided for non-attending students.
The course includes the study of the fundamental structures of the French language (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, syntax) applying them to specific exercises and to the reading, comprehension, re-elaboration, deepening, written and oral, of texts on topics of interest to the sciences education. For students of the degree course in sociology, particular attention will be paid to learning the vocabulary inherent to the historical and sociological analysis of issues inherent to the world of Perrault and to the comparison with contemporary problems in the French and Francophone world.
