Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this programme component, students will be able to:
- read and understand relatively long and complex pieces of writing, capturing subtle nuances in style and meaning, both implicit and explicit;
- follow a lecture or exposé on a specialized topic using regional, familiar or idiomatic language as well as unfamiliar vocabulary; subsequently, produce a clear and succinct outline;
- produce a clear, well-structured argument, oral or written, on a complex subject;
- argue a point of view using secondary arguments, justifications and examples.

They will be able to:
- understand the challenges of general translation, even of abstract, structurally or linguistically complex texts with idiomatic expressions;
- and make the necessary research to solve those challenges;
- translate those general texts in written and with a high degree of precision, in a correct French and in the appropriate style;
- translate and/or summarize general texts orally, without any mistranslations and at the normal rhythm of speech delivery.
