Full Description

The lecture about the regions of France aims at more particularly beginner or intermediate students but it can also present an interest to advanced students. The aim here is to sensitize students to the geographical, economical, cultural, patrimonial and touristy specificities that each region owns. That way they can better understand the unity of France through the diversity of regions that compound it.

This oral comprehension exercise is delivered as attracted as possible thanks to the use of many visual and sonorous materials.

A handout that comes with a map of the regions studied before hand is handed to the students at each session. In addition, they can find on the CCFS website, the text of the paper that was given to them class, enrich with bibliographic references and complementary internet links.
