French as a foreign language

The main objective is to enable students to follow the courses given at École Centrale de Lyon, to be self-reliant in everyday situations and to make the most of their stay in France. French in 3rd Year is taught through 3 levels with linguistic and sociocultural objectives. The course provides the tools for understanding and communicating about topical and social issues, for interacting with French people on the campus and at work.

The focus is on the skills required for oral and written expression, on professional life, on social and topical issues (environment, sustainable development, ethics…) and on French culture.
