French as a foreign language
Goals
The main objective is to enable students to follow the courses given at Centrale Lyon, to be self-reliant in everyday situations and to make the most of their stay in France. French in 2nd Year is taught through 4 levels with linguistic, sociocultural and sustainable development 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. Foreign double-degree students who have not graduated from secondary school in France have to obtain, during their 2nd year (March session), at least a DELF B2 level to validate their degree.
Programme
During semester 7, the focus is on professional life, on social issues (environment, sustainable development, ethics…) broached through cross-cultural presentations, and on preparation for DELF and DALF tests.
Sustainable development
Sustainable Development Goals
DD&RS level 2
A substantial part of the activities is dedicated to environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility.
Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
Courses particularly aim to lead students to reflect on how, through education, they can contribute to promoting equality and establishing harmonious relationships in their future professional lives and more broadly within society. The theme of sustainable development in its broadest sense is the focus of the majority of advanced level courses based on a variety of sub-themes covered in different ways (flipped classroom, presentations, critical analysis : press, videos, films).
